C++ logical & operator

Question

Is there a logical & operator in C++? e.g. an operator that works just as && except that it also evaluates later arguments even if some preceding ones have alrea

Answer 1

There is no such "always execute" operator in C++.

My first inclination is that instead of looking for a new operator, you should re-evaluate what your methods do to eliminate any side effects that mandate they be executed. It may be possible in this way to simply be able to use && and be happy.

However if you actually want to do all the operations in sequence and then see if they all succeeded, probably Luchian Grigore's answer would be the best. It clearly delineates that it's sequential steps that always need to execute. There is one more option which may or may not be less clear:

// Each method needs to execute in sequence but we use "success" to track overall success. The order of operands to `operator&&` shouldn't be changed.
bool success = f1();
success = f2() && success;
success = f3() && success;

if(success) ...
