8.2.5.3 and (boolean)

Description

When the and operator has operands of type boolean type then it performs boolean AND. The result of the operation is of boolean type and is equal to true of both operands are true, and false if either operand is false. By default short circuit evaluation is used when performing the boolean AND (i.e. The left operand is evaluated first and if it is false then the right operand is not evaluated because the result of the operation must be false). A compiler option can be used to enable/disable short-circuit evaluation.

Example

   false and false   results in false
   false and true    results in false
   true  and false   results in false
   true  and true    results in true
