    Wink Or ???

    Hi

    This may sound really stupid, but how do you say or in C++ ? And is there a way of saying and / or ? I have looked through the tutorials, and not found anything, but there might be something I over looked.

    Cheers

    Bitwise and/or or logical and/or?

    Bitwise:
    and = &
    or = |

    Logical:
    and = &&
    or = ||

    In addition, you can just use the keywords and and or in your program, they refer to logical and and logical or, although the && and || versions are much more common and therefore more clear.

    The if-statement tutorial has some information on logical operations.

    Here's another tutorial which might be helpful.

    I recommend that you work your way through the tutorials, AND get your hands on a beginning C++ book.

    They are "alternative representations" in C++, and are reserved just like keywords. I don't know about C. See section 2.11 Keywords (paragraph 2) in the C++ standard.

    I found it after posting and added it as an edit. Note that the sun link doesn't seem to match the standard.
