If operators

Echelon is incorrect in the difference between "|" and "||" operators (also "&" and "&&" operators). The first is a BIT-WISE operation, the individual bits of the expressions are and'ed and or'ed. The second is a logical opertion, the result being true if either (both) operands are true. The logical operations stop as soon as the result is determinable (short-circuiting). Note to any C++ people out there. In C++ if you overload the logical operators, short circuiting does NOT occur!.

Thanks chaps, interesting to know about the doubling up stopping the short circuit. I come from a Visual FoxPro background so it being the same as C++ does not help me that much. Thanks again, Craig

Yeah the conditional operators are the same as in C++.. || && ..

you mean somethign like this? "||" in c# the oeprators should be same as in c++, correct me if im wrong ;) if(lcAge == 21 || lcAge == 22) // OR { //the code working here will do the same for both cases. either 21 or 22. //any other age (20 ..or 32) will be ignored. } you can also do something like: if(lcAge1 == 21 && lcAge2 == 22) // AND { //the code here will only work incase lcAge1 == 21 and lcAge2 == 22 } there are also operators like "&" and "|" which mean the same, but if the first thing already fits (e.g. lcAge1 == 21...) it won't check the second one but execute the code in the if- statement. if i mixed "&", "&&", "||" and "|" up, tell me ;)

the syntax would be if ((iceage == 21) || (iceage==22)) { }
