A & B is a matrix whose elements are logical 1 (TRUE) where both A and B have non-zero elements, and logical 0 (FALSE) where either has a zero element. A and B must have the same dimensions (or one can be a scalar). && Short-Circuit Logical AND. A && B is a scalar value that is the logical AND of scalar A and B. This is a "short-circuit" operation in that MATLAB evaluates B only if the result is not fully determined by A. For example, if A equals 0, then the entire expression evaluates to logical 0 (FALSE), regard- less of the value of B. Under these circumstances, there is no need to evaluate B because the result is already known.
