Select the correct answerWhich of these operators can skip evaluating right hand operand?Options|!&&&

Break Down the Problem

1. Identify the operators listed in the options.
2. Understand the behavior of each operator in terms of short-circuit evaluation.

Relevant Concepts

1. Logical AND operator (&&): In most programming languages, this operator stops evaluating as soon as it finds a false operand (left-hand side). If the left-hand operand is true, it evaluates the right-hand operand.
2. Logical OR operator (||): It stops evaluating as soon as it finds a true operand.
3. Bitwise NOT operator (!): This operator simply negates a boolean value and does not involve short-circuit evaluation.

Analysis and Detail

1. The && operator can skip evaluating the right-hand operand if the left-hand operand is false, which means it does not need to check the right-hand side to determine the overall outcome of the logical expression.
2. The ! operator does not skip as it only negates the value.
3. Given the options, the && operator is the correct choice for skipping evaluation.

Verify and Summarize

• Only && has the ability to skip the evaluation of the right-hand operand based on the evaluation of the left-hand operand.

Final Answer

The correct answer is &&.
