Logical Operators

Table 15-7. Logical Operators

Example	Name	Result
$a and $b	And	`TRUE` if both $a and $b are `TRUE`.
$a or $b	Or	`TRUE` if either $a or $b is `TRUE`.
$a xor $b	Xor	`TRUE` if either $a or $b is `TRUE`, but not both.
! $a	Not	`TRUE` if $a is not `TRUE`.
$a && $b	And	`TRUE` if both $a and $b are `TRUE`.
$a \|\| $b	Or	`TRUE` if either $a or $b is `TRUE`.

The reason for the two different variations of "and" and "or" operators is that they operate at different precedences. (See Operator Precedence.)
