How are if conditions read?

Question

In this exemple, if the first conditions is matched, are the other one tested by the compilator ?

a = 10
if (a % 2 == 0 || a / 2 == 5 || a == 10)
   echo 'hello world'

`echo 'hello world`? That's not a C statement. When creating a [mcve] make sure it's valid and replicates or clearly show the problem you ask about. — Some programmer dude, Apr 23 '19 at 12:53

In logical or conditions are checked from left to right. If the left condition is true then remaining right conditions are not checked by the compiler.

bool condition_1 = true;
bool condition_2 = false;

if(condition_1 || condition_2) in this case condition_2 is not checked by compiler.

@EricPostpischil but in the example of the OP is within an `if` – David Ranieri Apr 23 '19 at 13:23
