Examples

C++

In the source code you can find the equivalent of the above table, for easier orientation at the end of each line is a comment which shows the result.
a1 = false || false; // a1 = false
a2 = false || true;  // a2 = true
a3 = true  || false; // a3 = true
a4 = true  || true;  // a4 = true

C++

Even one example in what situations we can use the operation logical or:
(b || c) || a
a || true
a>1 || a<100

C++

Other pieces of example codes:
(10 >a || a<5)
a || true
j > 128 || false
