OR
XOR
Structure - Math
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.
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.
