Name

or operator — Logical or operator

Synopsis

               logical-or-expr := logical-or-expr "||" logical-and-expr | 
    logical-or-expr or logical-and-expr
            

The logical or operator converts its operands to type bool and returns a bool result. This built-in operator is a short-circuit operator, so if the left operand is true, the expression yields true without evaluating the right operand. Note that if operator or is overloaded, it cannot be short-circuited and must evaluate both operands.

The keyword or is interchangeable with the || token.
