logical & operator returns true for any values other than 0 for eg.:- 1&&0 = 0 (false) 0&&0 = 0 (false) 1&&1 = 1 ( true) 2&&3 = 1 (true) 5&&7 = 1 (true) n1&&n2 = 1 (true) ; where. n1,n2 ≠ 0 https://www.sololearn.com/learn/CPlusPlus/1619/?ref=app

a = 0 + 1 = 1 b = c = d = 0 since all if has false condition therefore in last if if ((1&&0)&&(0&&0)) { printf("something"); break; } condition false nothing happens... because of while(1) results in infinite loop
