It came from B where it was not incomprehensible. And in fact, early C didn't have && and || so, just as in B, & and | were used for logical connectives even though they were bit operations as well. Had DMR known what C would become, I am sure he'd have sacrificed the small benefit of not annoying the B community in order to get it right early on. -- Ben.
