Logical operators

Template:cpp/language/sidebar Returns a boolean value.

Operator name	Keyword	Syntax	Over​load​able	Prototype examples (for Template:cpp)
				Inside class definition	Outside class definition
negation	Template:cpp	!a	Yes	Template:cpp	Template:cpp
AND	Template:cpp	a && b	Yes	Template:cpp	Template:cpp
inclusive OR	Template:cpp	a || b	Yes	Template:cpp	Template:cpp
Notes The keyword-like forms (and,or,not) and the symbol-like forms (&&,||,!) have exactly the same meaning everywhere they can occur Operators Template:cpp and Template:cpp perform short-circuit evaluation when used with basic type but that is not true if overloaded ( as they behave as functions )
