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

Quote:

---

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!

Okay, now that you got the important, here's some fun trivia:

If your compiler supports the 1999 edition of the C standard sufficiently, you can #include <iso646.h> and use the or macro instead of ||. (<iso646.h> defines or to be || for you.) That said, there is probably no benefit for you in doing this.
