Logical AND Operator

Logical AND operator takes two operands, and returns true if both left and right operands are true, or false otherwise.

Syntax

&& symbol is used for logical AND operator.

a && b

Truth table of AND gate

The following truth table provides the output of AND operator for possible operand values.

a	b	a && b
true	true	true
true	false	false
false	true	false
false	false	false

Examples

1. Check if num is positive and an even number.

let num = 12;
if ((num > 0) && (num % 2 == 0)) {
    console.log('num is positive and even');
} else {
    console.log('num is either not positive or not even');
}

In the above example, left operand a is (num > 0) and right operand b is (num % 2 == 0). For given value of num, both a and b are true. If-condition is true, and therefore if-block is run.
