5.14 Logical AND operator [expr.log.and]

logical-and-expression:
    inclusive-or-expression
    logical-and-expression && inclusive-or-expression
1

The && operator groups left-to-right. The operands are both contextually converted to type bool (Clause [conv]). The result is true if both operands are true and false otherwise. Unlike &, && guarantees left-to-right evaluation: the second operand is not evaluated if the first operand is false.

2

The result is a bool. If the second expression is evaluated, every value computation and side effect associated with the first expression is sequenced before every value computation and side effect associated with the second expression.
