All Operators
And Operator
Xor Operator
OPERATOR: Or
Implemented in version 1.0
Or
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.
When using the
Or
to compare
Boolean
expressions, the order of the expressions is important.
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)
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).
Code:
<%
Expression1 = 1
Expression2 = 2
Result = Expression1 Or Expression2
Response.Write "Result = " & Result
%>
Output:
Result = 3
