Don't use void main().

if(a() && b())
if(a() && b())

In this case, if a is false, b won't be evaluated, because no matter what b is, the expression is false.

hi DWKS
thanks for short clear explanation.

So u in this case when we use logical operations we don't assign numbers but we think it like true and false right and we can think of "if" statement to be considered?!

aah yes i understood that i didn't think about condition i thought may be we assign 777 to a and b

but look this operators;

"=" and "==" x = 0 && (a = b = 777)

i though as the operator is assignment it will give 0 to x and ... umm okay i'll try to find out...

THANK YOU!!!
