Question

I have a couple of methods that return a bool depending on their success, is there anything wrong with calling those methods inside of the IF() ?

//&& makes sure that Method2() will only get called if Method1() returned true, use & to call both methods if(Method1() && Method2()) {     // do stuff if both methods returned TRUE } 

Method2() doesn’t need to fire if Method1() returns FALSE.

Let me know there’s any problem with the code above.

thank you.

EDIT: since there was nothing wrong with the code, I’ll accept the most informative answer … added the comment to solve the ‘newbie & &&’ issue

Answer 1

I’ll throw in that you can use the & operator (as opposed to &&) to guarantee that both methods are called even if the left-hand side is false, if for some reason in the future you wish to avoid short-circuiting.

The inverse works for the | operator, where even if the left-hand condition evaluates to true, the right-hand condition will be evaluated as well.
