## Which one below is not one of the logical operators of Go?
 | 
						|
1. `||`
 | 
						|
2. `!=` *CORRECT*
 | 
						|
3. `!`
 | 
						|
4. `&&`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
> **2:** That's the "not equal" operator. It's a comparison operator, not a logical operator.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Which one of these types is returned by a logical operator?
 | 
						|
1. int
 | 
						|
2. byte
 | 
						|
3. bool *CORRECT*
 | 
						|
4. float64
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
> **3:** That's right. All the logical operators return an untyped bool value (true or false).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Which one of these can be used as an operand to a logical operator?
 | 
						|
1. int
 | 
						|
2. byte
 | 
						|
3. bool *CORRECT*
 | 
						|
4. float64
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
> **3:** That's right. All the logical operators expect a bool value (or a bool expression that yields a bool value).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Which expression below equals to the sentence below?
 | 
						|
"age is equal or above 15 and hair color is yellow"
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. `age > 15 || hairColor == "yellow"`
 | 
						|
2. `age < 15 || hairColor != "yellow"`
 | 
						|
3. `age >= 15 && hairColor == "yellow"` *CORRECT*
 | 
						|
4. `age > 15 && hairColor == "yellow"`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## What does this program print?
 | 
						|
```go
 | 
						|
package main
 | 
						|
import "fmt"
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
func main() {
 | 
						|
    var (
 | 
						|
        on  = true
 | 
						|
        off = !on
 | 
						|
    )
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    fmt.Println(!on && !off)
 | 
						|
    fmt.Println(!on || !off)
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. true true
 | 
						|
2. true false
 | 
						|
3. false true *CORRECT*
 | 
						|
4. false false
 | 
						|
5. error
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
> **3:** `!on` is false. `!off` is true. So, `!on && !off` is false. And, `!on || !off` is true.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## What does this program print?
 | 
						|
```go
 | 
						|
package main
 | 
						|
import "fmt"
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
func main() {
 | 
						|
    on := 1
 | 
						|
    fmt.Println(on == true)
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. true
 | 
						|
2. false
 | 
						|
3. error *CORRECT*
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
> **3:** `on` is int, while `true` is a bool. So, there's a type mismatch error here. Go is not like other C based languages where `1` equals to `true`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## What does this code print?
 | 
						|
```go
 | 
						|
// Note: "a" comes before "b"
 | 
						|
a := "a" > "b"
 | 
						|
b := "b" <= "c"
 | 
						|
fmt.Println(a || b)
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. "a"
 | 
						|
2. "b"
 | 
						|
3. true *CORRECT*
 | 
						|
4. false
 | 
						|
5. error
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
> **1-2:** Logical operators return a bool value only.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
> **3:** Order is like so: "a", "b", "c". So, `"a" > "b"` is false. `"b" <= "c"` is true. So, `a || b` is true.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
> **5:** There isn't an error. Strings are actually numbers, so, they're ordered and can be compared using the ordering operators.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## What does the following program print?
 | 
						|
```go
 | 
						|
// Let's say that there are two functions like this:
 | 
						|
//
 | 
						|
//   isOn() which returns true and prints "on ".
 | 
						|
//   isOff() which returns false and prints "off ".
 | 
						|
//
 | 
						|
// Remember: Logical operators short-circuit.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
package main
 | 
						|
import "fmt"
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
func main() {
 | 
						|
    _ = isOff() && isOn()
 | 
						|
    _ = isOn() || isOff()
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
// Don't mind about these functions.
 | 
						|
// Just focus on the problem.
 | 
						|
// They are here just for you to understand what's going on better.
 | 
						|
func isOn() bool {
 | 
						|
    fmt.Print("on ")
 | 
						|
    return true
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
func isOff() bool {
 | 
						|
    fmt.Print("off ")
 | 
						|
    return false
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. "on off on off "
 | 
						|
2. "off on " *CORRECT*
 | 
						|
3. "off on on off "
 | 
						|
4. "on off "
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
> **1, 3:** Remember: Logical operators short-circuit.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
> **2:** That's right.
 | 
						|
> 
 | 
						|
> In: `isOff() && isOn()`, `isOff()` returns false, so, logical AND operator short-circuits and doesn't call `isOn()`; so it prints: `"off "`.
 | 
						|
> 
 | 
						|
> Then, in: `isOn() || isOff()`, `isOn()` returns true, so, logical OR operator short circuits and doesn't call `isOff()`; so it prints `"on "`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
> **4:** Think again.
