Why the second output is different??🤔

https://code.sololearn.com/cEOUjwBEkfSA/?ref=app So, first line we get "Hi 1" as output Then, why in second line it shows "Hi 5"?? Shouldn't it show "Hi 5 1" or "Hi 1"?? Edit- I have edited my code

In your question values printing in the bases of priority int x=5; cout<<"Hi "<<(x && true)<<endl; Here x is decleared as 5 which is positive integer so every positive number with condition treat as true either 1 so first here in first cout statement u y used brackets so brac will solve first and result will be Hi 1 . But cout<<"Hi "<<x && true; Here u removed brac and << this extraction operator has highest priority so its printing 5 and 1 And work as multiply 5*1 and or as a plus so result is 5

A.S. I agree with your analysis up until this nonsense statement: "... so its printing 5 and 1 And work as multiply 5*1 and or as a plus so result is 5" Let's look again at the line cout<<"Hi "<<x && true; This is evaluated as a Boolean expression with two operands, <A> && <B>; First it evaluates <A>, which is    cout<<"Hi "<<x. The output is "Hi 5", and <A> evaluates to a non-null pointer. For Boolean purposes the pointer reduces to true. Then it evaluates <B>, which is simply    true. Finally, <A>&&<B>, i.e., true&&true, reduces to true. There is no further action to take with the expression so execution proceeds to the next statement without using the final true result.

A.S. As you said, every positive number treated as true .. then why y && true is treated as true?? And false is equeals to 0.. Then x && false should be 0 or y && false should be 0 but why it shows 1??

Samael Morningstar read about logical operators you will understood better . 5&&true will give true here 5 is positive use bracket when u print values 5&&0 will give 0 or false 5||0 will give true ==1
