Logical Operations

Now, let's explore logical operations. Logical operations are used to manipulate and make decisions based on boolean values.

Logical Operators

There are three logical operators in JavaScript:

AND (&&);
OR (||);
NOT (!).

AND (&&)

The AND (&&) logical operator returns true only when both values it operates on are true. The result is false if any value is false.


              1234
            
console.log(true && true);
console.log(true && false);
console.log(false && true);
console.log(false && false);

The AND (&&) operator requires all values to be true to return true.

OR (||)

The OR (||) logical operator returns true if at least one of the values is true. It returns false only when both values are false.


              1234
            
console.log(true || true);
console.log(true || false);
console.log(false || true);
console.log(false || false);

The OR (||) operator returns false only when both values are false.

NOT (!)

The NOT (!) operator inverts the boolean value. It turns true into false and false into true.


              12
            
console.log(!true);
console.log(!false);

Using Logical Operators

Logical operators are often used to combine conditions. For example, to check if two values are greater than 4 or greater than 1, you can use the AND (&&) operator.


              1234
            
let a = 5, b = 3;

console.log(a > 4 && b > 4);
console.log(a > 1 && b > 1);

Priority

Logical operations have a lower priority than comparison operations, which, in turn, have a lower priority than mathematical operations.

Note
Similar to other operations, you can use parentheses () to adjust the priority of execution.
