a	b	x
False	False	False
False	True	True
True	False	True
True	True	True

information about the table: a, b are inputs, x is result

Object Pascal

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 or false; // a1 = false
a2 := false or true;  // a2 = true
a3 := true  or false; // a3 = true
a4 := true  or true;  // a4 = true

Object Pascal

Even one example in what situations we can use the operation logical or:

(b or c) or a
a or true
a>1 or a<100

Object Pascal

Other pieces of example codes:

j > 128 or false

a or true

(10 >a or a<5)
