Hi there,
Is there any difference between
bool success = SomeFunctionReturningFalse();
success &= SomeOtherFunction();
and
bool success = SomeFunctionReturningFalse();
success = success && SomeOtherFunction().
????
In the latter case I expect that SomeOtherFunction() will not be called,
because of short circuit evaluation, but what about the first case?

Bitwise and is not short-circuiting.

someotherFunction() will always be called .
in the first case maybe the success has relationship with both the two
functions.
if they both return ture or both return false ,success is set with true
..other case it set false.

Thanks.
I had overlooked that "&=" is "bitwise and". On ther other hand, there is no
"&&=" operator.

In the first case SomeOtherFunction() will allways be called. There are
other differences. 'Bitwise and' and 'logic and' are different
operators. If you want a logic and, you should use it. For example,
given the following declaration and assuming a 2's complement
representation.
int a = 2, b = 4;
a && b == 1 //both values represent true
a & b == 0 //0b00...0010 & 0b00...0100 = 0b00...0000

And here is your answer:
someotherFunction() will always be called . in the first case maybe the success has relationship with both the two functions. if they both return ture or both return false ,success is set with true .other case it set false.
As before, your answer is completely wrong. In both of the sample
cases, success is set to 0 unless BOTH of the functions return a
non-zero value.
In neither case is success set to 1 if both functions return zero.
