29. 5.9 Logical Operators Used to form complex conditions by combining simple ones –Short-circuit evaluation Execute only until truth or falsity is known –AndAlso operator Returns true if and only if both conditions are true –OrElse operator Returns true if either or both of two conditions are true BZUPAGES.COM

30. 5.9 Logical Operators (II) Logical Operators without short-circuit evaluation –And and Or Similar to AndAlso and OrElse respectively Always execute both of their operands Used when an operand has a side effect –Condition makes a modification to a variable –Should be avoided to reduce subtle errors –Xor Returns true if and only if one operand is true and the other false BZUPAGES.COM

31. 5.9 Logical Operators (III) Logical Negation –Not Used to reverse the meaning of a condition Unary operator –Requires one operand Can usually be avoided by expressing a condition differently BZUPAGES.COM
