Hello, I have a question.
assuming, all letters below are either true or false.
Are the following the same:
1. (A OR B) && (C) && (D OR E OR F OR G OR H)
2. A OR B && C && D OR E OR F OR G OR H

There is no OR in Java. Assuming that you mean ||, no, they are not the same,
just as:
(a + b) * (c) * (d + e + f + g + h)
is not the same as:
a + b * c * d + e + f + g + h

hi
the equation are not the same , they will generate different outputs
the execution sequence will be () --> and --> or
think of it as a numerical equation

There are three things you need to understand to solve problems of
this class:
1. the difference between the two flavours of or | and ||. see
http://mindprod.com/jgloss/boolean.html
2. the difference between the two flavours of or & and &&
3. the precedence table. See
