+<h2>Logical AND</h2>
+In simple terms, && is true (1) if both sides of the expression returns NOT 0.
+<p>
+For Example:
+<pre>
+ /* These all return TRUE (1) */
+
+ if (4 && 5) return();
+
+ i=3;
+ j=2;
+ return( i && j);
+</pre>
+The expression is evaluated 'Left to Right' If any part of the expression
+returns ZERO - The evaluation ends.
+<p>
+THIS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS PROBLEMS.
+<p>
+For example:
+<pre>
+ k=0;
+ i=3;
+ j=2;
+ if ( i-i && j++) k=1
+</pre>
+The left side <i>(i-i)</i> resolves to 0, so <i>j</i> is not incremented
+and <i>k</i> is not changed.
+<hr>
+<a name=OR>
+<h2>Logical OR</h2>
+OR also evaluates 'Left to Right' and will stop when an expression
+returns true. <p>
+SO WATCH YOUR BACK....
+<p>
+<pre>
+ k=0;
+ i=3;
+ j=2;
+ if ( i+i && j++) k=1
+</pre>
+What are <i>j</i> and <i>k</i> going to be when this code is executed?????
+
+<hr>
+<a name=NOT>
+<h2>Logical NOT</h2>
+
+NOT reverses the logical state of its
+<a href=../glossary.html#operand>operand</a>. If the operand is 0, 1 is
+returned, else 0 is returned.
+
+<pre>
+ !4 /* Returns 0 */
+ !-4 /* Returns 0 */
+ !1 /* Returns 0 */
+ !0 /* Returns 1 */
+</pre>
