As a C++ programmer for many years, I never noticed the other style of logic operators in C++ until today.

When I review part of code witten by one of my colleague which is a mainly a Java programmer, and find he uses and other than && in if statement.

And I check cppreference, and find the C++ operator alternative.

Primary	Alternative
&&	and
&=	and_eq
&	bitand
|	bitor
~	compl
!	not
!=	not_eq
||	or
|=	or_eq
^	xor
^=	xor_eq
{	<%
}	%>
[	<:
]	:>
#	%:
##	%:%:

The reason for alternative operators is that the source code maybe not in ASCII set, and don't have the proper operators.
