Yes, the C standard says so, e.g.:

     6.5.13 Logical AND operator

     The && operator shall yield 1 if both of its operands
     compare unequal to 0; otherwise, it yields 0. The result has
     type int.

...

     6.5.14 Logical OR operator

     The || operator shall yield 1 if either of its operands
     compare unequal to 0; otherwise, it yields 0. The result has
     type int.

char a[]="\n .CJacehknorstu";int putchar(int);int main(void){unsigned long b[]
