Boolean Operators

This topic describes the support for Boolean operators in F#.

Summary of Boolean Operators

The following table summarizes the Boolean operators that are available in F#. The only type supported by these operators is the bool type.

The Boolean AND and OR operators perform short-circuit evaluation, that is, they evaluate the expression on the right of the operator only when it is necessary to determine the overall result of the expression. The second expression of the && operator is evaluated only if the first expression evaluates to true; the second expression of the || operator is evaluated only if the first expression evaluates to false.
