I always thought that "&&" operator in JAVA is used for verifying whether both its boolean operands are TRUE, and the "&" operator is used to do Bit wise operations on ...
How does this happen? boolean b1 = true; boolean b2 = false; boolean b3 = false; b3 &= b1 | b2; // prints false... b3 = b3 & b1 | b2; // prints true... Operator precedence is &, ^, | so why does the grouping change??? Is it because of the &= assignment operator? This is weird, but neat.
String x=null; if((x!=null) && x.equals("hello")) { // do something... } Now, in the case of && (short circuit operation) if x is null, the statement will terminate after the first expression *BUT* if & was used in its place, this would throw a null pointer exception anytime x was null since it would always execute both sides. There are other cases ...

You have probably noticed that Joachims code is many more lines than mine even though we both use the same idea. Joachim is right in putting in the braces { and } since the Java coding conventions say you should. I rather deliberately break that rule when my if statement fits on one line. You decide whether you do the same. ...
