Logical Operator

Definition

A logical operator is a symbol or word used to connect two or more conditions in order to create complex Boolean expressions. It determines the relationship between these conditions and yields a true or false result based on their evaluation.

Negation Operator: The negation operator, represented by the exclamation mark (!), reverses the truth value of a condition. For example, if x is true, then !x will be false.

AND Operator:

The AND operator, represented by &&, returns true only if all the conditions connected by it are true. For example, if both x and y are true, then x && y will be true.

OR Operator:

The OR operator, represented by ||, returns true if at least one of the conditions connected by it is true. For example, if either x or y (or both) are true, then x || y will be true.
