C# How do I check if one of two values is TRUE?

Question

Should be a simple question for the C# experts here.

I basically want to check if one value or another is TRUE, a wild stab at the code is below:

if          


        

Answer 1

Use the || (double pipe), logical OR.

bool isMale = Boolean.Parse(staff.getValue("Male");
bool isFemale = Boolean.Parse(staff.getValue("Female");
if (isMale || isFemale) // note double pipe ||
{
   // do something if true
}

In C# statement expressions are evaluated from left to right. In an OR operation, the second expression will not be evaluated if the first one equals true.
