The variable <code>onTime<\/code> is assigned a logical value of <code>true<\/code> only when <code>noTraffic<\/code> is <code>true<\/code> and <code>gasEmpty<\/code> is <code>false<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The statement:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">matlabCopyEdit<code>onTime = noTraffic &amp;&amp; ~gasEmpty;\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>uses logical operators to evaluate the required conditions. The <code>&amp;&amp;<\/code> operator represents logical AND, meaning both conditions must be satisfied for the result to be true. The <code>~<\/code> symbol represents logical NOT, which inverts the value of <code>gasEmpty<\/code>. So, <code>~gasEmpty<\/code> is true when the gas tank is not empty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By combining both:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If <code>noTraffic<\/code> is true (indicating there is no traffic), and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><code>gasEmpty<\/code> is false (indicating there is fuel),<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>then <code>onTime<\/code> is set to <code>true<\/code>, indicating that the scenario supports arriving on time. If either of the conditions fails, <code>onTime<\/code> becomes false, meaning that being on time cannot be guaranteed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The function does not use conditional statements like <code>if<\/code> or <code>else<\/code>. It relies entirely on logical operators to make the evaluation concise and direct. Logical expressions such as these are often preferred in situations where binary conditions are involved, allowing clear and efficient computation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This implementation ensures minimal code with maximum clarity. The logic is executed in one line, making the code both readable and functional without unnecessary complexity. This is suitable for automation or decision-making systems that depend on straightforward logical evaluations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner8-640.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-235721\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Logical variables: Running late?
