How do logical && and || operators along with increment and decrement work?

Evaluate the following expressions. Find x,y,z values in each case. Assuming x=1 and y=5 initially, what do you observe: z=++x && ++y; z=--x && --y; z=++x || ++y; z=--x || --y; How are logical operators affecting the values?
