Logical-OR Operator: ||

The logical operators, logical-AND (&&) and logical-OR (||), are used to combine multiple conditions formed using relational or equality expressions. The logical-OR operator (||) returns the integral value 1 if either operand is nonzero; otherwise, it returns 0. Logical-OR has left-to-right associativity.
Example
In the following example, the logical-OR operator (||) determines if either switch setting is true. Since nSw1
is true, AnyFunction()
will execute.
// Example of the logical-OR operator
int nSw1=1, nSw2=0;
if (nSw1 || nSw2) { // nSw1 is true while nSw2 is not true
AnyFunction(); // so, this function will execute
}
