I don't under stand... Is the ( and || ) statement not only true if all of them are true?

:point_right: The OR (||) of multiple terms is true if any term is true.

It's still true if all of the terms are true, but it will also be true if only one of the terms is true.

When combining with OR (||), the result is only false when every term is false.
