go to post Josh Bone · Dec 18, 2024 We cannot "exit early" from the entire line, because there is more following the && operation. It may make sense if you realize that 0 && 1 = 0 is the same as: (0 && 1) = 0 We don't have to check the right side of the && before resolving the parenthetical expression, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't continue evaluating the rest of the line.
