bool = (bool2 & method1("1")); //1
bool = (bool2 && method1("2")); //2
bool = (bool1 | method1("3")); //3

the output will comprise of 1 and 3. The question is based on short circuit operators. The operator & doesnt short circuit and thats why it prints 1 ..
Similarly (|) operator doesnt short circuit thus prints 3.
Hope this helps
