A:
The answer the teacher is probably looking for is De Morgan's laws. You can take an expression such as !p && !q and rewrite it as !(p || q), which is arguably easier to read. This is actually a universal law of booleans that is not particular to any language like java.

@KitsuneYMG: The differences are very slight. As long as you don't do: Boolean result = (p) ? Boolean.FALSE : Boolean.TRUE :P
