If short-circuit && and || were not defined, then p && q and p || q
could be equivalent to p & q and p | q, with programmer responsible for
dangerous side-effects. In Ada this would perturb the code,
but it is not a problem in C or Algol because of the existence of conditional
expression.

In short, if you want p and q, use p&&q. If you want, if p then q else don't
bother with q, just say false, use p?q:false.
