Logical operators in Java Programming

Core java OOPs Tutorial

Core Java Interview Materials


Java provides an easy way to handle multiple conditions: the logic operators.
There
are three logic operators, &&, ||
and !.

 && is logical and.
 && combines two boolean values and returns a boolean which is true if and only if both of its operands are true. . 
|| is logical OR
|| combines two boolean variables or expressions and returns a result that is true if either or both of its operands are true. 

The last logic operator is ! which means not. 
It reverses the value of a boolean expression. Thus if b is true !b is false. If b is false !b is true.

 b = 3 > 2 && 5 < 7; // b is true

 b = 8 > 3 || 5 < 7; // b is true

boolean b;
b = !(5 > 2); // b is false
b = !(2 > 5); // b is true

 public class LogicalOperators
 {

    public LogicalOperators()
         {
        Boolean x = true;
        Boolean y = false;
        System.out.println(" x & y: " +(x & y));
                System.out.println(" x | y :" + (x | y));
        System .out.println(" x && y :"+ (x && y));
                public static void main (String arg[])
               
              {
                new Logicaloperators();
                 }
                    }
