Because 2 > 2 is false so (true && false) will be false

Also, logical AND operator will evaluate the RHS operand when the LHS operand evaluates to true. So here, both `++x > 2` and `y-- > 2` are evaluated. This will not be the case when the LHS operand evaluates to false, as per the short circuit evaluation definition.

(++x>2 && y-->2) Evaluates to (3>2 && 2>2) Then (True && False) And finally reduces to (False)
