Slide 1	Welcome to the spoken tutorial on Logical operators in C and C++.
Slide 2	In this tutorial we will learn about: Logical operators like && Logical AND eg. expression1 && expression2	Logical OR eg. expression1 || expression2	Logical NOT eg. !(Expression1) We will do this with the help of examples.
Slide 3	To record this tutorial, I am using: Ubuntu 11.10 as the operating system gcc and g++ Compiler version 4.6.1 on Ubuntu.
Slide 4 Non zero = True Zero = False	Let us start with the introduction to the logical operators. In C and C++, true is any value other than 0. non zero means true Non zero = True zero means false Zero = False Expressions using logical operators return 1 for true and 0 for false.
	Now I'll explain the logical operators with the help of an example.
Switch to logical.c in gedit	Here is the program for logical operators in C.
Highlight int a,b,c;	Inside the main block This statement declares the variables a,b and c as integers.
Highlight printf("Enter the values of a,b and c \n");	The printf statement prompts the user to enter the values of a,b and c.
Highlight scanf("%d %d %d", &a, &b, &c);	The scanf statement takes input from the user for the variables a, b and c.
Highlight if((a > b) && (a > c)) printf("a is greatest \n");	Here, We are comparing the values of a with b and c to find the greatest. To compare simultaneously, we use the logical AND operator. Here, all of the conditions have to be true for logical AND to return a true value. The expression is not evaluated further on encountering a false condition. So, the expression (a>c) is evaluated only if (a>b) is true. If a is less than b, then the expression won't be evaluated further. This statement is be evaluated if the previous condition is true.
Highlight else if (b > c)	Next (b>c) is evaluated.
Highlight printf("b is greatest \n");	If the condition is true, then b is greatest is displayed on the screen.
Highlight else printf("c is greatest \n");	Otherwise c is greatest is displayed on the screen.
Highlight if(a == 0 || b == 0 || c == 0)	We now come to the logical OR operator. Here, any one of the conditions has to be true for logical OR to return a true value. The expression is not evaluated further on encountering a true condition. So, if a == zero, then the remaining two expressions won't be evaluated.
Highlight printf("The product of a, b and c is zero \n");	This printf statement is executed if either of a, b or c is 0.
Highlight return 0; }	Coming to the end of the program. return 0 and ending curly bracket.
Click on Save	Now save the program. Save it with extension .c I have saved my file as logical.c
press Ctrl, Alt and T keys simultaneously.	Open the terminal by pressing Ctrl, Alt and T keys simulataneously.
Type gcc logical.c -o log Type ./log	To compile the code type gcc logical.c -o log For executing the code type ./log Press Enter.
Output:	Here it is displayed as, Enter the values of a,b and c I will enter the values as, 0 34 567 The output is displayed as, c is greatest. The product of a, b and c is zero. You should try executing this program with different sets of inputs.
	Let's write the same program in C++
Open the C++ file.	I have already made the program and will take you through it. Here is the code in C++.
//Logical operators in C++ #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { int a,b,c; cout <<"Enter the values of a,b and c \n"; cin >>a >>b >>c; if((a > b) && (a > c)) cout <<"a is greatest \n"; else if (b > c) cout <<"b is greatest \n"; else cout <<"c is greatest \n"; if(a == 0 || b == 0 || c == 0) cout <<"The product of a, b and c is zero \n"; return 0; }	Now to make the same program in C++, we make a few changes. There's a change in the header file. Using statement has been used. Also there is a difference in output and input statements. The operators behave in the same way as they did in C.
Click on Save. point to .cpp	Click on Save. Make sure the file is saved with extension .cpp
press Ctrl, Alt and T keys simultaneously.	Open the terminal by pressing Ctrl, Alt and T keys simulataneously.
On the terminal type g++ logical.cpp -o log to execute ./log	To compile the program type g++ logical.cpp -o log1 to execute the program type ./log1 press Enter.
Output:	Here it is displayed as, Enter the values of a,b and c I will enter the values as 0 34 567 We see the output is similar to the C program. You should try executing the program with different sets of inputs too.
Errors	Now let us see an error which we can come across. Let's switch to the editor.
Delete if(a > b) && (a > c)	Suppose here we forgot the brackets. Delete this and this.
	Let see what will happen Come back to the terminal Compile and execute as before
Highlight Error	We see the error: Expected identifier before '(' token.
	This is because we have two different expressions here We have to evaluate them as one expression using AND operator.
	Now let us go back to our program and fix the error
	Let us insert the brackets here and here. Click on Save Come back to the terminal.
	Let us compile and execute as before So it is working now. Let us now summarize the tutorial.
Summary:	In this tutorial we learnt about the logical operators && Logical AND eg. ((a > b) && (a > c))	Logical OR eg. (a == 0 || b == 0 || c == 0)
Assignment:	Write a program that takes two numbers as input from the user. Check whether the two numbers are equal or not using NOT operator. Hint: (a != b)
