This operator performs a Boolean OR operation on the two operands of type bool and returns the result, which is also a bool value. If one or both of the operands is equal to true, this operator returns true, otherwise it returns false. The || operator is often used with conditionals and loops. Examples:

false || false  ; false
true || false   ; true
false || true   ; true
true || true    ; true

Note: don't confuse this operator with the |...| (modulus squared) operator.
