How do I say IF Something equals Something OR Something else Equals Something else

Question

Hi there,

I need to find out to how say:

if (var1 == "a" OR var2 == "a")

The above is just an example of what I need

Thanks!

Answer 1

if (var1 == "a" || var2 == "b")

{

}

Use the double pipe ( || ) for OR and double ampersand ( && ) for AND.

Answer 2

if(($var1 == "a") || ($var2 == "b"))

{

// Do something

}

That's in PHP.

|| = OR

&& = AND

(at least in PHP)

How it returns true:

$var1 = a

OR

$var2 = b

How it returns false:

$var1 = x

$var2 = y

Since neither one equals what you defined then it will not return true.  It's checking to see if either variable equals what you defined.

Thanks,

Chad
