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.
