What is the result of AND'ed alerts?
importance: 3
What will this code show?
alert( alert(1) && alert(2) );
The answer: 1
, and then undefined
.
alert( alert(1) && alert(2) );
The call to alert
returns undefined
(it just shows a message, so there’s no meaningful return).
Because of that, &&
evaluates the left operand (outputs 1
), and immediately stops, because undefined
is a falsy value. And &&
looks for a falsy value and returns it, so it’s done.
