Which doesn't change the issue in the slightest way --- C++ is exactly
the same as C, in this regard.

Boolean algebra books know *nothing* about real-world programming
languages.  In particular, they know nothing about variables with more
than a single bit in them, and that's why the need for the distinction
between && and & doesn't arise for them.

shielding you from the apparently shocking perspective of learning
something new, once in a while.
