Hi there,

|| usually represents OR logic in a conditional statement. When you have two or more conditions and you want some code to execute if any one of them is true, you use "or" logic. It's the counterpart to &&, or "and" logic, where you want all conditions to be true before a block will execute.

It can be written something like:

if (firstCondition || secondCondition || thirdCondition) {  //this will execute if ANY one of these is true
   //do some stuff
}

Hi Annika,

I'm afraid I'm not taking the course right now, and past projects are on a computer I don't have access to at the moment. If you want, though, you could share your code and I can help you figure out anything you're having trouble with :)

If you're using a workspace, I believe you can post a link to it and I can create my own copy of it, which will let me see everything you have. If you're not using a workspace, I guess we'll just have to do a good ol' copy-paste.

No problem - feel free to ask if there are any specific code questions I can answer. You can usually access old course work on your Workspaces page.
