Short-circuits conditionals : Mijo Kristo

Short-circuits conditionals

If you have to execute a function only if condition is true, you can use short-circuit.

// Instead of this
if (condition) {
    doSomething();
}

// You can use short-circuit
condition && doSomething();

Logical AND

In JavaScript, the logical AND operator will return true if both operands are true. It returns false in any other scenario. Here are a few simple examples:

true && true
// true
true && false
// false
