  You're forgetting that && is a so-called "short circuit" operator. If
the left operand is false, then the right operand is not evaluated.
This makes little difference in this particular case; but what if you
had something like this instead?

while(some_function() < p && some_other_function() <= r)

Here some_other_function() will not be called if the some_function()
call returns a value >= p.
