PHP - Logical and: &&, and

Logical and works as follows: just in case it's true if both inputs are true in all other situations the result is false. In next table you can find all possibilities:

a	b	x
False	False	False
False	True	False
True	False	False
True	True	True

information about the table: a, b are inputs, x is result

&&

Description

par1 && par2

Used keywords: &&

Input

par1 - Logical value
par2 - Logical value

Output

Result - Logical value

If the first operand is false, then the second operand is not evaluated.

Examples

PHP

In the source code you can find the equivalent of the above table, for easier orientation at the end of each line is a comment which shows the result.

$a1 = false && false; // a1 = false
$a2 = false && true; // a2 = false
$a3 = true && false; // a3 = false
$a4 = true && true;  // a4 = true

PHP

Even one example in what situations we can use the operation logical and:

$a && $b
$a && true
10 >$a && $a>5

PHP

Other pieces of example codes:

$b2= $x && $y

$a && $b

!$b && true

and

Description

par1 and par2

Used keywords: and

Input

par1 - Logical value
par2 - Logical value

Output

Result - Logical value

If the first operand is false, then the second operand is not evaluated.

Examples

PHP

In the source code you can find the equivalent of the above table, for easier orientation at the end of each line is a comment which shows the result.

$a1 = false and false; // a1 = false
$a2 = false and true; // a2 = false
$a3 = true and false; // a3 = false
$a4 = true and true;  // a4 = true

PHP

Even one example in what situations we can use the operation logical and:

$a and $b
$a and true
10 >$a and $a>5

You can find it in the following collections: logical operators
