Logical operators are used to perform logical operations. They are used to perform the following operations:
7272

73-
- `&&`: AND used to perform logical AND operation. It gives true if both the operands have true value.
74-
- `||`: OR used to perform logical OR operation. It gives true if either of the operands have true value.
73+
- `&&` and `&`: Java unlike many other languages has two AND operators to perform logical AND operation. It returns true if both the operands (being compared) have a truthy value. Even though both the `&` and `&&` operators perform the same AND operation; the `&&` operator is a logical operator and it can improve the efficiency of your code since it evaluates the second expression only if the first expression is true unlike the bitwise `&` operator which evaluates the second expression nonetheless.

- `||` and `|`: OR is used to perform logical OR operation. It returns true if either of the operands have a truthy value. The difference between `|` and `||` is that the `|` operator is a bitwise operator and it compares each operand bitwise whereas the `||` operator is the logical OR operator. It operates on both the operands and returns true if either of the operands have a truthy value.
7576
- `!`: NOT used to perform logical NOT operation. It gives true if the operand has false value.
