Where are the short-circuiting operators in ActionScript/JavaScript?

Question

Like VB has operators AndAlso and OrElse, that perform short-circuiting logical conjunction, where can equivalent operators be found in JS / AS?

Answer 1

The normal && and || operators do short circuit evaluation.

Answer 2

From what I gather, JS and AS use short-circuiting by default.

Defaults might be a good example:

var value = input || false;  // defaults: non-zero `input` or `false`

Ternary is another -- only the block needed is executed:

return typeof(value) == 'string' ? value.substr(0, 2) : '';
