Is there a difference between using a logical operator or a bitwise operator in an if block in Java?

Question

The contents of both of the following if blocks should be executed:

if( booleanFunction() || otherBooleanFunction() ) {...}
if( booleanFunction() | otherBool         


        

Answer 1

if( booleanFunction() || otherBooleanFunction() ) {...}

In this condition if booleanFunction() returns true then otherBooleanFunction() would not be executed.

if( booleanFunction() | otherBooleanFunction() ) {...}

But in bitwise operator both functions - booleanFunction() and otherBooleanFunction() would be executed no matter booleanFunction() returns true or false
