RE: What is difference between && and & similarly || a...
&& || - logical operators
& | - bit wise operators

Logical operators are normally used for specifying conditions.
Usage: condition1 && condition2 condition1 || condition2

Logical AND evaluates to true if both the conditions are true and logical OR evaluates to true if one of the conditions is true.

Bitwise operators perform the specified operation on bits and returns the result.

eg:
2 && 3 evaluates to true
2 & 3 gives result as 2(010 & 011)
