Operator is used, it is used to test whether a condition is not true. Since the &&, ||, and ! operators can be used together, parentheses () are commonly used to segment items in a conditional statement. The following example demonstrates the use of the AND and OR statements used with parentheses: //Using AND, OR and Parentheses if(A == B || (A==C && B==D) ) { //Statement is true } In the preceding code, the statement that is true is A is equal to B OR A is equal to C AND B is equal to D. From a logical execution, the system would first attempt to validate if A is equal to B.
