Logical AND Operator

Part of the Fundamentals section of Coddy's GO journey — lesson 24 of 109.

The logical AND operator (&&) returns true only when both conditions are true.

Here is a program that checks if a number is both positive and even:

num := 6
isPositive := num > 0
isEven := num % 2 == 0
result := isPositive && isEven
fmt.Println(result)

This outputs:

true

You can also use the operator directly in conditions:

age := 25
hasLicense := true
canDrive := age >= 18 && hasLicense
fmt.Println(canDrive)

This outputs:

true

Challenge

Beginner

In this challenge, you'll practice using the logical AND operator (&&) in Go.

You have variables representing whether a person meets different eligibility criteria for a job. A person is qualified for the job if they have both the required experience AND the necessary education.

Your task is to use the logical AND operator to check if the candidate is qualified, and store the result in the isQualified variable.

Cheat sheet

The logical AND operator (&&) returns true only when both conditions are true.

Basic usage with variables:

num := 6
isPositive := num > 0
isEven := num % 2 == 0
result := isPositive && isEven
fmt.Println(result) // true

Direct usage in conditions:

age := 25
hasLicense := true
canDrive := age >= 18 && hasLicense
fmt.Println(canDrive) // true

Try it yourself

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
	// Candidate qualifications
	hasExperience := true
	hasEducation := true
	
	// TODO: Use the logical AND (&&) operator to check if the candidate
	// has both experience AND education, store the result in isQualified
	isQualified := false // Replace this line with your code
	
	// Print the result
	fmt.Println("Does the candidate qualify for the job?", isQualified)
}
