var d=false;

console.log(a && b); // => 2

console.log(a && c); // => 0

console.log(a && d); // => false

console.log(c && b); // => 0

console.log(c && d); // => 0

console.log(d && c); // => false

var b=2;

var c=0;

var d=false;

console.log(a || b); // => 1

console.log(a || c); // => 1

console.log(a || d); // => 1

console.log(c || b); // => 2

console.log(c || d); // => false

console.log(d || c); // => 0
