Confused with specific && and || logic

I'm not understanding why the following statements are working the way they are:

Code:

---

while ( GetAsyncKeyState(VK_F4) || GetAsyncKeyState(VK_F6))

---

Here, while F4 or F6 are being held, the code will run. So far so good.

Code:

---

while ( !GetAsyncKeyState(VK_F4) || !GetAsyncKeyState(VK_F6))

---

But here, the way I see it, the code should run until F4 or F6 are pressed, but it will only stop after I hold each of them a couple of times(?).
And if I change the || for &&, only one button is needed to stop the loop, while in this case both should be pressed.
What am I missing?
I'm sorry if this is something obvious.

|| gives true if at least 1 of its arguments are true. !GetAsyncState() gives true if the button is NOT held (notice the !). The entire while loop loops while F4 is not held, F6 is not held or if both are not held.

If I understand your request correctly, you want:

Code:

---

while(!GetAsync(F4) && !GetAsync(F6))

---

That will run until F4 or F6 is pressed.

Well, that was obvious :D

When I asked my friend who knows a bit of programming he got confused too for some reason. I should just have looked better at the code.
