Logical AND Operator (&&) (JavaScript)

[This documentation is for preview only, and is subject to change in later releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]

Performs a logical conjunction on two expressions.

result=expression1&&expression2
result

Any variable.

expression1

Any expression.

expression2

Any expression.

If, and only if, both expressions evaluate to True, result is True. If either expression evaluates to False, result is False.

JavaScript uses the following rules for converting non-Boolean values to Boolean values:

  • All objects are considered true.

  • Strings are considered false if, and only if, they are empty.

  • null and undefined are considered false.

  • Numbers are false if, and only if, they are zero.

Supported in the following document modes: Quirks, Internet Explorer 6 standards, Internet Explorer 7 standards, Internet Explorer 8 standards, Internet Explorer 9 standards, Internet Explorer 10 standards. Also supported in Metro style apps. See Version Information.
