+<code bash>
+These two commands not the same:
+command1 && command2 || command3
+if command1
+then
+command2
+else
+command3
+fi
+</code>
+In the if-then-else, exactly one of command2 or command3 will be executed. But in the && || version, command3 runs if either command1 or command2 returns false.
+<code bash>
+for c1 in true false; do for c2 in true false; do echo "$c1 && $c2 || c3"; (echo c1; $c1) && (echo c2; $c2) || echo c3; done; done
+</code>
+And the output:
+<code bash>
+true && true || c3
+c1
+c2
+true && false || c3
+c1
+c2
+c3
+false && true || c3
+c1
+c3
+false && false || c3
+c1
+c3
+</code>
