## Why is this an issue?

The use of non-short-circuit logic in a boolean context is likely a mistake - one that could cause serious program errors as conditions are evaluated under the wrong circumstances.

### Noncompliant code example

    if(getTrue() | getFalse()) { ... } // Noncompliant; both sides evaluated

### Compliant solution

    if(getTrue() || getFalse()) { ... } // true short-circuit logic
