Quite so. The bitwise | operator solves the problem too. Marc

Yes indeed. Or use the bitwise operator. Marc

MISRA[^] Rule 33 & 34:

The right hand operand of a || shall not contain side effects
The operands of a logical || shall be primary expressions

The example you gave is the very reason for the above two rules.

I think words like 'destiny' are a way of trying to find order where none exists. - Christian Graus Entropy isn't what it used to.

Yes - but I don't like bitwise operators with bools...

Yep, but this is a workaround, not a best practice though.

I do not like that change from C/C++...I mean the | and || changes... X|

There's actually some nice concise uses of

var result = DoSomething() && DoSomethingThatDependsOnIt();
var result = DoSomething() || HandleFailureCase();

It's even better in languages where you can use non-boolean types with the boolean operators.

[Keith Barrow]

Though Nish's and OG's examples will work, I think it is symantically better to do this:

bool more = ProcessFlyouts();
bool foo = ProcessCarrierAnimations();
more = more || foo;

Less terse code (normally bad) - but explicit in calling ProcessCarrierAnimations.

more |= ProcessCarrierAnimations(); ?

You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

Let's say I have never seen these two lines of code, OK ?

var more = more || initalizeMore(); is a common practice in javascript.

This isn't a change from C++. It works the same way for both operators. Doesn't it? Now I'm going to have to read up on it, dammit!

Now, I'm not going to look at the other answers before I post so I don't know if others have got it right, or if there are additional nuggets of information. If ProcessFlyouts returns true then the second test isn't carried out - it's a conditional OR statement. So, if you want ProcessCarrierAnimations to be evaluated, convert it to

more = more | ProcessCarrierAnimations();

[Kornfeld Eliyahu Peter]

You have to! Otherwise you may end up with some mess if updating C/C++ to C# (what I'm doing just now)...
