The logicalOr method is a static method of the Boolean class in Java. The method computes the logical OR operation on two Boolean operands/values.
The logical OR operator is represented as || in Java. This method was introduced in Java 8.
OR operation on Boolean values
A Boolean data type can take 2 values, i.e. true and false. The result of the logical OR operation between the different combinations of the two Boolean data types is as follows.
| First Operand | Second Operand | First Operand || Second Operand |
|---|---|---|
| true | true | true |
| true | false | true |
| false | true | true |
| false | false | false |
Method Signature
public static boolean logicalOr(boolean a, boolean b)
Parameters
boolean a - first operand.
boolean b - second operand.
Return values
Logical OR of the two operands.
Code
public class Main {public static void main(String[] args) {System.out.println("true || true = " + Boolean.logicalOr(true, true));System.out.println("true || false = " + Boolean.logicalOr(true, false));System.out.println("false || true = " + Boolean.logicalOr(false, true));System.out.println("false || false = " + Boolean.logicalOr(false, false));}}
