Re: while(T[l]<p & l<=r)

Groovy hepcat fir was jivin' in comp.lang.c on Wed, 27 Mar 2024 10:35
pm. It's a cool scene! Dig it.

tell me, is while(T[l]<p & l<=r) the same as while((T[l]<p)&&(l<=r))
i was unable ro remember that

  You're forgetting that && is a so-called "short circuit" operator. If
the left operand is false, then the right operand is not evaluated.
This makes little difference in this particular case; but what if you
had something like this instead?

while(some_function() < p && some_other_function() <= r)

Here some_other_function() will not be called if the some_function()
call returns a value >= p.
