Logical Operators in Objective-C

Following table shows all the logical operators supported by Objective-C language. Assume variable A holds 1 and variable B holds 0, then −

Operator	Description	Example
&&	Called Logical AND operator. If both the operands are non zero then condition becomes true.	(A && B) is false.
\|\|	Called Logical OR Operator. If any of the two operands is non zero then condition becomes true.	(A \|\| B) is true.
!	Called Logical NOT Operator. Use to reverses the logical state of its operand. If a condition is true, then Logical NOT operator will make false.	!(A && B) is true.

Example

Try the following example to understand all the logical operators available in Objective-C programming language −

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

int main() {
   int a = 5;
   int b = 20;

   if ( a && b ) {
      NSLog(@"Line 1 - Condition is true\n" );
   }
   
   if ( a || b ) {
      NSLog(@"Line 2 - Condition is true\n" );
   }
   
   /* lets change the value of  a and b */
   a = 0;
   b = 10;
   
   if ( a && b ) {
      NSLog(@"Line 3 - Condition is true\n" );
   } else {
      NSLog(@"Line 3 - Condition is not true\n" );
   }
   
   if ( !(a && b) ) {
      NSLog(@"Line 4 - Condition is true\n" );
   }
}

When you compile and execute the above program, it produces the following result −
