Weird Part of C++ Logical Operators

Question

While I was writing code in c++ I accidentally wrote the keyword 'and' instead of && since I did python a few days ago and to my surprise, the keyword got highlighted! I thought this was a bug or something until I found this:

Share any more of this weird stuff if you have any!

Answer 1

Hi @Cool Codin
Instead of putting a title "Did you know this?!", it's better to set a proper title such as "Weird part of C++ and operator".
This could definitely help you find the answers faster, rather then meaningless title which won't be helping you at all. 😊

It also helps others to find the similar question and solution easier later.

Cheers 😊

Edited: thanks for the changes @Cool 👍🏼

@Calvin Thanks! Updated it!

Answer 3

great discovery. but my advice to you is to never write a logical/bitwise operator in word (and, or, xor, not) because they will still be converted to (&, |, ^, ~) respectively. this Is because using word formats will decrease performance. so use the symbols instead. happy coding.

Answer 4

32 bit

Answer 5

Would it really matter??
If it works, it works for a reason, no?
The only way you will really know, is to compile and run a test program, whilst using a timer or/and a debugger.
But as you have stated, it will all get converted in the end, so performance shouldn't be a problem when it's all compiled to binary, or do I have that completely wrong ?

However I do know, using AND, OR etc isn't anything new to c++,
