Which statments about the output of the following programs are true?
public class TestClass
{
public static void main(String args[ ] )
{
int i = 0 ;
boolean bool1 = true;
boolean bool2 = false;
boolean bool = false;
bool = (bool2 & method1("1")); //1
bool = (bool2 && method1("2")); //2
bool = (bool1 | method1("3")); //3
bool = (bool1 | | method1("4")); //4
}
public static boolean method1(String str)
{
System.out.println(str);
return true;

I think correct answers are A, B and D
When we use '&' or '|' operator both expressions on either side of the operator will be executed.
but in case '&&' or '| |' the second expression will not be executed

Actually 1 and 3 will output because in the fourth one
bool = (bool1 | | method1("4")); //4
It doesn't evaluate the second half because bool1 is true. Therefore, no call to method1("4") is made.

Shame me!
Yes A and C are right answers
