var myVar = boolean1 ¦¦ false;
- Thread starter heleneb

Heaven only knows what it was intended to do by the coder.
boolean1 must be the name of a variable. It must be assigned a value before it can be used in that statement. The name suggests that it will have a value of true or false.
Piece by piece
"var myVar" declares the name of a variable.
"var myVar =" assigns the value on the right side of the = to the variable.
The expression on the right side is evaluated from left to right
"boolean1" is true or false
"||" means combine boolean1 with false using logical OR.
"true OR false" evaluates to true.
So myVar gets the value true.
May I ask a question?
