var conditionOne = true; var conditionTwo = true; var conditionThree = false; var conditionFour = true; if (conditionOne && conditionTwo) { // code will be executed } if (conditionThree || conditionFour) { // code will also be executed }<p>The && operator or “logical AND” returns true only if <em>both</em>conditions, to the left and right of it, return true.</p>

<p>Now it is clear how to program the second part of the logic: let’s combine the conditions “employees on vacation” and “employees on sick leave” using “logical OR”.</p>

<p>We can also program the first part of the logic without nested if: let’s combine the conditions “there are enough developers” and “technology is mastered” using the “logical AND”. We decided not to nest the conditions as this could make the code complicated and confusing. If the nesting is large, then it becomes difficult to understand why this or that action is being performed.</p>
