Logical Operators (&&, ||, !)
In this lesson you will learn the logical operators in Go so you can combine several conditions in one decision. This is for anyone searching for "Go logical operators how to use".
When you want to combine conditions you use logical operators. && means "both are true", || means "at least one is true", and ! means "the opposite".
The sample code checks "18 or older and holding a ticket" with age >= 18 && hasTicket, and "under 18, or not holding a ticket" with age < 18 || !hasTicket. These operators are indispensable in if statements whenever you need to test several conditions at once.
A common stumbling block for beginners is short-circuit evaluation. If you do not know that the right-hand side of && is skipped when the left is false, code with side effects on the right can behave unexpectedly.
In real-world development logical operators come up constantly wherever conditions combine, from input validation to access-permission checks.
