The OR and AND operation is used specific more than 1 if statement. This syntax is used to make the code shorter, gab writing if statement after if statement: public class Main{ public static void main(String[]arcs){ int x = 0; int y = 0; //OR operation if(x <=0 || y <=0){ //this is saying if x OR y are less or equal to 0 // the code if statement is true } //AND operation if(x <=0 && y <= 0){ /*this is when you initialized that both statements need to be true for the overall out come to be true*/ } if the OR and AND operations weren't involve then the code would have looked like his: Or statement without AND operation: if(x <=0){ if(y <= Y){ //the code if both statement are true } // the code if the first statement if true } } }

Like it does in english language! ;) Conditional loop check if a statement is true, if you write a statement with an OR operator, if a part of the statement containing one or many OR operator is true, the whole statement is true, so the loop continues... Hope I made it understandable...
