Logical Operators in C programming language return true(non-zero number) or false(0) value. Logical AND(&&) and logical OR(||) works on 2 operands. But logical NOT(!) works on single operand.

Logical Operators
&& – Logical AND Operator.
|| – Logical OR Operator.
! – Logical NOT Operator.
&& – Logical AND Operator.
#include < stdio.h > int main() { int a; a = ( 1 && 1 ); printf("value of a is %d\n", a); return 0; }
Output:
value of a is 1
#include < stdio.h > int main() { int a; a = ( 0 && 1 ); printf("value of a is %d\n", a); return 0; }
Output:
value of a is 0
For logical AND(&&) both operands or expressions must yield to true. If any one condition is false(0), then it’ll return false(0).
|| – Logical OR Operator.
#include < stdio.h > int main() { int a; a = ( 1 || 1 ); printf("value of a is %d\n", a); return 0; }
Output:
value of a is 1
#include < stdio.h > int main() { int a; a = ( 1 || 0 ); printf("value of a is %d\n", a); return 0; }
Output:
value of a is 1
#include < stdio.h > int main() { int a; a = ( 0 || 0 ); printf("value of a is %d\n", a); return 0; }
Output:
value of a is 0
Logical OR(||) returns true(any non-zero number) if either one condition/operand is true. It returns false(0) only when both the conditions / operands are false(0).
! – Logical NOT Operator.
#include < stdio.h > int main() { int a; a = ( !1 ); printf("value of a is %d\n", a); return 0; }
Output:
value of a is 0
#include < stdio.h > int main() { int a; a = ( !0 ); printf("value of a is %d\n", a); return 0; }
Output:
value of a is 1
Logical NOT(!) returns true if the condition is false. It returns false if the condition is true. It just negates the Boolean value given to it.

Logical Operators combined with Relational Operators
&& – Logical AND Operator.
#include < stdio.h > int main() { int a, b = 100; a = ( (b == 0) && (b > 50) ); printf("Value of a is %d\n", a); return 0; }
Output:
value of a is 1
a is true because both b is equal to 100 is true and b is greater than 50 is true.
#include < stdio.h > int main() { int a, b = 100; a = ( (b == 0) && (b > 150) ); printf("Value of a is %d\n", a); return 0; }
Output:
value of a is 0
a is false(0) because b is equal to 100 is true but b is greater than 150 is false.
|| – Logical OR Operator.
#include < stdio.h > int main() { int a, b = 100; a = ( (b == 0) || (b > 50) ); printf("%d\n", a); return 0; }
Output:
value of a is 1
Value of a is true, because b is equal to true. In logical OR(||) if one condition is true, then it returns true. It returns false(0) only when both the conditions / operands are false(0).
! – Logical NOT Operator.
#include < stdio.h > int main() { int a, b = 100; a = ( !(b == 0) ); printf("%d\n", a); return 0; }
Output:
value of a is 0
Value of a is false(0). Because b is equal to 100 is true. When true value is given to NOT(!) it’ll return false(0). When false value is supplied to NOT it’ll return true.
Note: = is assignment operator. == is equality operator.
