When Java evaluates a conjunction ( && ), does it eval exp2 if exp1 is false?

Question

I\'m wondering if it\'s guaranteed that in a Java program, the boolean expression on the right of a conjunction (exp2 above) will NOT be evaluated as long as the expression

Answer 1

If you use && or ||, java will use short-circuit evaluation (ie not evaluate the second expression unless it needs to)

If you use & or |, java will always evaluate the second expression, even if the first was true
