true or false

Hello all

I'm a novice both in c programming and this forum

this is a true or false question :
-----------------------------------------------------

The following exrpession assigns 2 in x.

(3 > 4 ) && ( x=2)
-----------------------------------------------------
Thanks in advance

Think of how operator && behaves when its left hand operand is false. Does it go on to evaluate its right hand operand?

What laserlight is saying is . . .

If the left side of a && expression is evaluated to false, it does not evaluate the second, right side, as it would be useless. If the left side is false, then the result is always false.

ok guys i get your point

so what if i change it a bit :

( 4>3 ) && ( x=2 )

would that be true ?

Meaning , if the very next line of code is

printf("%d",x)

will i get a

2


on the screen ?


Thanks for all the help

Well, if you tried it . . .

Code:

---

#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    int x = 0;
    (4>3) && (x = 2);
    printf("%i\n", x);
    return 0;
}

---

. . you get . . .

Code:

---

2

So, then, yes, you are correct.
