The right hand operand of a || shall not contain side effects
The operands of a logical || shall be primary expressionsThe example you gave is the very reason for the above two rules.

Programming Quiz of the day. I just wrote this code (C#), which did something very unexpected. What was it that it unexpectedly did?
bool more = ProcessFlyouts(); more = more || ProcessCarrierAnimations();How would you change it to "do the right thing?" Marc
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

more |= ProcessCarrierAnimations();?You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

You should be able to glean what the programmer intends to happen from the code. :) Marc

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.

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

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

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();

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!

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

Nah! As long as it compiles...

Yeah! It compiles. After then you can rub your head to find where the bug is!

How about:
more &= ProcessCarrierAnimations();
The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

No big deal to change if necessary. :shrug: But I actually find it easier to read on one line.
