C# Logical Operators

The C# Logical Operators are used to perform logical operations on operands. Use these logical operators to analyze multiple conditions. For instance, to find the largest of the three numbers, we use a > b && a > c.

The logical Operator’s conditions are usually enclosed in the parenthesis. The following table shows logical operators in C#.

Symbol	Operation	Example
&&	AND	3 != 2 && 4==4 returns true
||	OR	4= =4 || 6 = = 6 returns true

&& Operator returns true if both the first and second condition is true.

|| returns true if either the first or second condition is true.

Here is the truth table for the C# && and || operation.

Operand 1	Operand 2	&& Operation	|| Operation
True	True	True	True
True	False	False	True
False	True	False	True
False	False	False	False

C# Logical operators Example

Let us see an example of the logical operators. x = 10 and y = 15 are the two integer variables, and the result is the boolean variable.

using System;
 
 class Logical_OPerators
 {
     static void Main()
     {
         int x = 10;
         int y = 15;
         bool result;
 
         result = (x == 10) && (y < 10);
         Console.WriteLine("x && y is {0}", result);
 
         result = (x == 10) || (y < 10);
         Console.WriteLine("x || y is {0}", result);
     }
 }

OUTPUT

ANALYSIS

We have assigned x to 10, i.e., x = 10 and y to 15, i.e., y = 15.

Next, x ==10 returns true, y < 10 returns false. Comparing both the results, i.e., True && False returns False.

Now coming to ||, x = = 10 returns true, y < 10 returns false. As per the truth table, True || False returns True.
