# [[C Logical Operators]]

## 🎯 한 줄 통찰 (One-line insight)
The login-check example combines a comparison-like value (`isLoggedIn`) with its NEGATION (`!isAdmin`) inside a single `&&` expression (`isLoggedIn && !isAdmin` = "regular user") — showing that logical operators aren't just for combining two independent conditions, but are routinely used to express compound business rules like "authenticated AND NOT privileged" as one evaluable expression. [S1]

## 🧠 핵심 개념 (Core concepts)
- **`&&` (AND)** — returns 1 only if BOTH operands are true. [S1]
- **`||` (OR)** — returns 1 if AT LEAST ONE operand is true. [S1]
- **`!` (NOT)** — reverses the result: 1 becomes 0, 0 becomes 1. [S1]
- **1 = true, 0 = false** — the same convention as Comparison Operators; logical operators combine these int-valued truth results. [S1]

## 📖 세부 내용 (Details)
- Login/permission check combining AND and NOT: `int isLoggedIn = 1; int isAdmin = 0; printf("Regular user: %d\n", isLoggedIn && !isAdmin); printf("Has access: %d\n", isLoggedIn || isAdmin); printf("Not logged in: %d\n", !isLoggedIn);` — outputs `1`, `1`, `0` respectively. [S1]

## ⚖️ 모순 및 업데이트 (Contradictions & updates)
- 현재까지 발견된 모순 사항 없음 (No contradictions found in available sources).

## 🛠️ 적용 사례 (Applied in summary)
로그인 여부와 관리자 권한을 조합해 "일반 사용자인지", "접근 권한이 있는지"를 판단하는 예제가 원문에서 직접 실전 활용 사례로 제시됨(인증/인가 로직의 기초). [S1]

## 💻 코드 패턴 (Code patterns)
Combining AND and NOT to express a compound access-control rule (C):
```c
int isLoggedIn = 1;
int isAdmin = 0;
printf("Regular user: %d\n", isLoggedIn && !isAdmin); // 1
printf("Has access: %d\n", isLoggedIn || isAdmin);    // 1
printf("Not logged in: %d\n", !isLoggedIn);           // 0
```
