true or false = true?

Question

QUESTION

var x = false || true;
document.write(! (x !== true));

why false || true equal to true?

Hope you can solve this for me!
Thanks a lot!

Answer 1

true and false is a boolean.

For example :
console.log(2 == 3) : false because the 2 numbers is different.
console.log(2 == 2) : true because the 2 numbers is the same.

Answer 2

The || operator means ‘or’, so a || b is ‘a or b’ and is true if either a is true or b is true.

With false || true, the right hand side is clearly true, so the or statement evaluates as true.

Answer 3

Logical "OR" ( || ) operator return true if one ore more of the expressions to be evaluated is true. You can read more about logical operators here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Logical_Operators.
