Navigating the Logic Maze: Understanding C++ Logical Operators

Introduction and Overview

Hello, budding programmer! Let's dive into the topic of Logical Operators in C++. These special symbols, &&, ||, and !, guide our program's decision-making process. In this lesson, we aim to demystify these operators and explain how they function in control structures such as if and switch statements.

Logical Operators in C++

Jumping right in, we've identified three logical operators:

Logical AND (&&): This yields true if both conditions are true.
Logical OR (||): This yields true if any one condition is true.
Logical NOT (!): This operator reverses the truth value of a condition.

These operators work in conjunction with Boolean values (true and false) in a program. Here are some examples:
