# Short-Circuit Evaluation
|

The Short-Circuit evaluation consists in checking or executing the second argument only if the first argument is not enough to determine the value of the expression.

You can do a short-circuit evaluation with && and || operators.

You can do a short-circuit evaluation with `&&` and `||` operators.

Notice when `if ( i > 10 )` fails, the statement is false and the check `if ( j > 10 )` is never run. `if ( i > 10 && j > 10 )` behaves exactly the same way, because if `i > 10` is false then the entire statement is automatically false, and there is no need to run an additional check.
