3.11. Boolean Logical Operators: !, ^, &, |
Boolean logical operators include the unary operator ! (logical complement) and the binary operators & (logical AND), | (logical inclusive OR), and ^ (logical exclusive OR, a.k.a. logical XOR). Boolean logical operators can be applied to boolean operands, returning a boolean value. The operators &, |, and ^ can also be applied to integral operands to perform bitwise logical operations (see Section 3.13, p. 75).
Given that x and y represent boolean expressions, the boolean logical operators are defined in Table 3.9. In the table, the operators are ranked, with the operator having the highest precedence first.
| Logical complement | !x | Returns the complement of the truth-value ... |
