Thread: OR statement in C

Hi,

Is there such a thing as an OR statement in C?

For example:

If (x>0 OR x<10)
then.....

Thanks!

Yes, replace the OR with || (AND is && in C)

Thank you!

No problem, I'll bill you later.

Keylac, I assume you are a beginner (so am I). Pay attention to the double symbols: && and ||

You also have the single | and &, which are the bitwise operators for or and and.

You'll remember from boolean logics:

0 | 1 = 1
1 | 0 = 1
1 | 1 = 1
0 | 0 = 0

0 & 1 = 0
1 & 0 = 0
1 & 1 = 1
0 & 0 = 0

It's an often made beginner's mistake to confuse these operators (logical and bitwise), it 's comparable to

if (x = 0)

another thing ....

x=6 is often mistaken with x ==6.

x = 6 means, make x equal 6.

x == 6 means, "Is x equal to 6?"

I totally agree with this point, and this is a very good point to mention where most beginner does the mistake. in condition or loop people say something like x=6 means it will, always be true.

so to reduce what we can do just

do like this

Code:

if (6 ==x)

Then when ever by mistake we do like

Code:

if (6 =x)

it means the compiler will say than

error: lvalue required as left operand of assignment

In my point of view we can do like this also

Thanks everyone for the great info!
