Logical operators

Returns the result of a boolean operation.

# Declarations

bool operator!(bool)
bool operator&&(bool, bool)
bool operator||(bool, bool)

# Example

#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
#include <string>
 
int main()
{
    int n = 2;
    int* p = &n;
    // pointers are convertible to bool
    if (    p && *p == 2  // "*p" is safe to use after "p &&"
        || !p &&  n != 2) // || has lower precedence than &&
        std::cout << "true\n";
 
    // streams are also convertible to bool
    std::stringstream cin;
    cin << "3...\n" << "2...\n" << "1...\n" << "quit";
    std::cout << "Enter 'quit' to quit.\n";
    for (std::string line;    std::cout << "> "
                           && std::getline(cin, line)
                           && line != "quit";)
        std::cout << line << '\n';
}
