The logical OR, ||, omits the evaluation of the right-hand operand when the left-hand operand is true.

public class MainClass {

  public static void main(String[] arg) {
    int value = 8;
    int count = 10;
    int limit = 11;

    if (++value % 2 == 0 | ++count < limit) {
      System.out.println("here");
      System.out.println(value);
      System.out.println(count);
    }
    System.out.println("there");
    System.out.println(value);
    System.out.println(count);
  }
