what have you not understood in above program? i have inserted to SOP's to make it clear for you.
b is true and c is false, so when you use or shortcut or operator then it will see only true for you and in next condition it will find && shortcut operator of variable d which is also true. so e is assigned value true.

public class BoolTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {

Boolean b = new Boolean("TRue");
Boolean c = new Boolean("Null");
boolean d = true;
System.out.println(b); //here
System.out.println(c);//here

Boolean e = (b||c)&&d; //result
System.out.println(e);
}

}

Hi aneea,

for an explanation why b is true and c is false, have a look at the API documentation.

1. Boolean b = new Boolean("TRue");
2. Boolean c = new Boolean("Null");
3. boolean d = true

This first line is Boolean constructor that means condtion we are giving in it it is that only

as boolean condtion checks only true or false condition so how in the line 2 it is Null and what it means

javadoc says -
public Boolean(String s)
Allocates a Boolean object representing the value true if the string argument is not null and is equal, ignoring case, to the string "true". Otherwise, allocate a Boolean object representing the value false.


According to the constructor definition line 1 gives "true" and line 2 gives "false".
