How does Java deal with multiple conditions inside a single IF statement

Question

Lets say I have this:

if(bool1 && bool2 && bool3) {
...
}

Now. Is Java smart enough to skip checking bool2 and bool2 if boo

Answer 1

Is Java smart enough to skip checking bool2 and bool2 if bool1 was evaluated to false?

Its not a matter of being smart, its a requirement specified in the language. Otherwise you couldn't write expressions like.

if(s != null && s.length() > 0)

or

if(s == null || s.length() == 0)

BTW if you use & and | it will always evaluate both sides of the expression.
