What is the OR operator in an IF statement

Question

In C#, how do I specify OR:

if(this OR that) {do the other thing}

I couldn\'t find it in the help.

Update:

Answer 1

The OR operator is a double pipe:

||

So it looks like:

if (this || that) 
{
  //do the other thing
}

EDIT: The reason that your updated attempt isn't working is because the logical operators must separate valid C# expressions. Expressions have operands and operators and operators have an order of precedence.

In your case, the == operator is evaluated first. This means your expression is being evaluated as (title == "User greeting") || "User name". The || gets evaluated next. Since || requires each operand to be a boolean expression, it fails, because your operands are strings.

Using two separate boolean expressions will ensure that your || operator will work properly.

title == "User greeting" || title == "User name"
