The OR operator is a logic comparison operator. It compares two conditions to make a single

true or false statement. The OR operator will return a true if one or both conditions are true.

If both conditions are false then a false is returned. The truth table belwo demonstrates all

combinations:

Condition 1 Condition 2 Result

True True True

True False True

False True True

False False False

The OR operator is used in decision making commands such as IF..THEN, DO..WHILE and so

on. It differs from the | operator which is used in binary math functions. Example of the OR

operator:

if hour = 12 OR minute = 30 then ding

The conditional statement will check to see if either expression is true before returning a true

and jumping to the ding label. If both of the expressions are false the label is skipped. The IF..

THEN only jumps to the label if the statement is true.

XOR

The XOR operator is a logic comparison operator. It compares two conditions to make a single

true or false statement. The XOR operator will return a true if one but not both conditions

are true. If both conditions are true or false then a false is returned. The truth table below

demonstrates all combinations:

Condition 1 Condition 2 Result

True True False

True False True

False True True

False False False

The XOR operator is used in decision making commands such as IF..THEN, DO..WHILE and so

on. It differs from the ^ operator which is used in binary math functions. Example of the XOR

operator:

if hour > 5 XOR hour = 5 then QuitTime

The conditional statement will check to see if either expression is true before returning a true

and jumping to the quittime label. If both of the expressions are false or true the label is

skipped. The IF..THEN only jumps to the label if the statement is true.
