How does C++ handle &&? (Short-circuit evaluation) [duplicate]

Yes, the && operator in C++ uses short-circuit evaluation so that if bool1 evaluates to false it doesn’t bother evaluating bool2. “Short-circuit evaluation” is the fancy term that you want to Google and look for in indexes. The same happens with the || operator, if bool1 evaluates to true then the whole expression will evaluate … Read more

Why does the || (or) and && (and) operator in JavaScript behave differently than in C (returning non boolean value)?

The logical operators in C always evaluate to boolean values. In C, the int 1 represents true and the int 0 represents false. That’s the reason why both the expressions, “All” && 1 and “All” || 1, evaluate to 1. Both of them are logically true. For clarification, consider the following program. #include <stdio.h> int … Read more
