Short-circuit evaluation refers to the process where the evaluation of logical expressions (AND, OR) stops as soon as the result is determined. For example, in an OR expression, if the first operand is true, the entire expression is true, and the second operand is not evaluated. Similarly, in an AND expression, if the first operand is false, the entire expression is false, and the second operand is not evaluated.
