Javascript Question

Question

Why And operator returns 2??
console.log(1 && 2)

Answer 1

In JavaScript, the && (AND) operator evaluates expressions from left to right and returns the first falsy value it encounters. If all values are truthy, it returns the last evaluated value. In the expression 1 && 2, both 1 and 2 are considered truthy values. Since there is no falsy value, the operator returns the last evaluated value, which is 2.
So, console.log(1 && 2) prints 2 because both 1 and 2 are truthy, and 2 is the final value in the expression.

Answer 2

Logical expressions are evaluated from left to right.
1 is truthy, so && evaluates the value after it, which is 2. so 2 is passed to console.log
