@MichaelKohl Katenkyo's comment (what they meant, with more detail): Worth noting that, if a == 1 && b == 0, then both b and c will be evaluated. Here is the expression, with parens: ((a) && (b)) || (c). a&&b's result will be 0 in this case, so c will be evaluated, because the || gate will check for the second operand if the first one is 0.

@MichaelKohl note that a&&b||c can return c when a is true iff b is false, a little edge case, but we shouldn't forget that ^^

Using ternary in if statements can also be very helpful if(a ? b : c)

Gaffi: VBA has Iff, although it's a function, so subject to evaluation of all arguments.

Languages that don't have a ternary can use a&&b||c instead. Slightly longer, but still shorter than an if.
