Question about boolean operators

[Terpinator]

Hello all, I didn't see a programming section so I apologize if this is in the incorrect section. I recently began pursuing a degree in IT and am getting a head start on C programming. I had a quick and basic question.

I am reading about boolean operators. I understand how they work in the sense of what will evaluate to true and false when using them. But I was wondering if someone could give me a couple of basic examples of how they are used. I struggle to understand things unless I can practically apply them.

Hi, Example: you have a large list of students with their age and marks for the last semester and you want to find the student that is 20 years old and has a certain mark, for awarding him a prize.
You'd use AND
If a (standing for age) =20 AND m (standing for mark)=A, THEN print the student name.
It's just an example, but you can us AND, OR, NOT in various similar cases.

The other thing to be careful about is there are logical operators and bit-wise operators.
