Operators (cont.)

• Conditional operators, && and || (operate on boolean expressions only):
  • Evaluate from left to right
  • "short circuit" operators
  • Example:
    a < b && c > d || e == f
  • If a < b evaluates to false, the && subexpression is false and the evaluation of c > d will be skipped
  • If both a < b and c > d evaluate to true, then the expression is true, and evaluation of e == f will be skipped
• Assignment operator (=)
  • To assign a variable from another variable or expression
  • May be used in combination with other operators (e.g. "+=" meaning "is incremented by")
  • Expression on right hand side converted to type of left hand side operand, if possible
  • No implicit conversions which result in loss of data (must be done via explicit cast)
