If an EXPRESSION involving the Boolean & operator is EVALUATED, both operands are evaluated. Then the & operator is applied to the OPERAND. When an expression involving the && operator is evaluated, the first operand is evaluated. If the first operand returns a value of true then the second operand is evaluated. The && operator is then applied to the first and second operands. If the first operand EVALUATES to false, the evaluation of the second operand is skipped.

Operator & has no CHANCE to skip both sides evaluation and && operator does.
