Question

If I have an ArrayList include boolean values, what is the best way to find out the result of this sequence of Bool values ?

I was trying something like this

bool result = false;    
bool flag = false;
ArrayList flags = new ArrayList();

if (something > 5)
{
 flag = true;
}
flags.Add(flag);    

foreach (bool val in flags)
{
      result &= val;
}

However if I would declare the result variable as true instead of false, then this changes the result. I am a bit confused.

Any advice would be appreciated!

If you are using &= then the initial value of “result” is very important. If result starts as false, however many times you do &= the result will stay false. If result starts as true, then &= will behave as you expect
