VBScript » Operators » Or

Version: 1.0

The Or operator is used to perform a logical disjunction on two expressions, where the expressions are Null, or are of Boolean subtype and have a value of True or False.

The Or operator can also be used a "bitwise operator" to make a bit-by-bit comparison of two integers. If one or both bits in the comparison are 1, then a 1 is returned. Otherwise, a 0 is returned.

Examples

Code:

<% =True Or True %>


 <% =True Or False %>


 <% =False Or True %>


 <% =False Or False %>





 <% =True Or Null %>


 <% =Null Or True %>


 <% =False Or Null %>


 <% =Null Or False %>


 <% =Null Or Null %>

Output:

True

 True

 True

 False


 True

 True

 (Null output)

 (Null output)

 (Null output)

Explanation:

When using the Or to compare Boolean expressions, the order of the expressions is important.

Language(s): VBScript

Code:

<%


 Expression1 = 1


 Expression2 = 2


 Result = Expression1 Or Expression2


 Response.Write "Result = "  Result


 %>

Output:

Result = 3

Explanation:

In this example, the Or performs a bitwise comparison on the 1 (in binary 001) and the 2 (in binary 010), and returns a 3 (in binary 011).
