using System; 
 
class Example {    
  public static void Main() {    
    int i; 
    bool someCondition = false; 
 
    i = 0; 
 
    Console.WriteLine("i is still incremented even though the if statement fails."); 
    if(someCondition & (++i < 100)) 
       Console.WriteLine("this won't be displayed"); 
    Console.WriteLine("if statement executed: " + i); // displays 1 
 
    Console.WriteLine("i is not incremented because the short-circuit operator skips the increment.");
    if(someCondition && (++i < 100)) 
      Console.WriteLine("this won't be displayed"); 
    
    Console.WriteLine("if statement executed: " + i); // still 1 !! 
  }    
}

i is still incremented even though the if statement fails.
if statement executed: 1
i is not incremented because the short-circuit operator skips the increment.
if statement executed: 1
