The or logical operator is denoted by ||.

It returns true when the condition on the left is true or the condition on the right is true. Only one of them needs to be true.

Here’s the truth table:

For instance:

• ( 1 < 2 || 2 > 3 ) returns true
• ( 1 > 2 || 2 > 3 ) returns false

Note: The keyword or can be used in the place of ||.
