Assuming age is set to 42, what is the value stored in the boolean answer:
boolean answer = (age < 40 || age > 50);

|| is logical or operator. || combines two boolean variables or expressions and returns a result that is true if either or both of its operands are true.
So if the age is 42 the result will be false. Every age beetween 40 and 50 will result false.
