What does the "or" operator mean in Lua?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I want to know what the OR operator is used for and if it is useful.

#2

It is useful, or is used do 2 things in a line. Example: + 1 or + 4

#3

So or is the same thing as and?

#4

No. Or can make you do random, and is both doing it.

#5

Or is basically telling the code “I want to do this if this is true or this is true”

Example

local x = true
local y = false

if x or y then --If one of these is true
    print("This will work since x is true!")
end
