Can two or more operators such as and be combined in a single line of program code?

Here’s an example of combining multiple operators in a single line of C code using && (logical AND) and || (logical OR):

Using && to Combine Conditions

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    int age = 25;
    int isEmployed = 1; // 1 represents true in C

    if (age > 18 && age < 60 && isEmployed) {
        printf("You are eligible.\n");
    } else {
        printf("You are not eligible.\n");
    }

    return 0;
}

Combining && and ||

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    int age = 70;
    int isEmployed = 0; // 0 represents false in C
    int isRetired = 1;  // 1 represents true in C

    if ((age > 18 && isEmployed) || (age > 65 && isRetired)) {
        printf("You meet the criteria.\n");
    } else {
        printf("You do not meet the criteria.\n");
    }

    return 0;
}

For example, in Python:

if age > 18 and age < 60 and is_employed:
    print("You are eligible.")

In this code:

• and is used to combine multiple conditions.
• The entire statement evaluates to True only if all conditions are True.

You can also combine and with other operators like or or use parentheses to make the logic clearer:

if (age > 18 and is_employed) or (age > 65 and is_retired):
    print("You meet the criteria.")

In this example:

• The parentheses clarify the precedence of the conditions.
• The condition will evaluate to True if either of the grouped conditions is True.

Key Points:

• Logical operators like and can be chained together.
• Parentheses help clarify and control operator precedence.
• The combination of operators should be logical and meaningful for the code to work correctly.
