[Solved] Logical Operators and increment operators [duplicate]

by


|| or logical OR operator has a short-circuit property. It only evaluated the RHS is the LHS is FALSY.

In your case, the evaluation of ++x produces a value of -2, which is not FALSY (0). Hence, the RHS is never evaluated.

To break it down:

m = ++i || ++j && ++k; 

 >> m = (++i) || (++j && ++k);
     >> m = (-2) || (++j && ++k);
        >> m = 1   // -2 != 0

So, only the value of m and i are changed, remaining variables will retain their values (as they are not evaluated).

That said, the result of the logical OR operator is either 0 or 1, an integer value. The result is stored in m, in your case.
