Int x=2,y=2; if(++x>2 && y-->2)

Question

Why this condition is false

Answer 1

Because

2 > 2 is false so (true && false) will be false

Answer 2

Also, logical AND operator will evaluate the RHS operand when the LHS operand evaluates to true. So here, both `++x > 2` and `y-- > 2` are evaluated.

This will not be the case when the LHS operand evaluates to false, as per the short circuit evaluation definition.

Answer 3

(++x>2 && y-->2)

Evaluates to
(3>2 && 2>2)
Then
(True && False)
And finally reduces to
(False)
