simple syntax question

[speedskis777]

Thanks, Archie. I'm not sure I completely follow, though.

Docs says:

x or y
if x is false, then y, else x
(1) This is a short-circuit operator, so it only evaluates the second argument if the first one is false.

So if I'm reading this correctly,

var = "*"
print(var == ("/" or "*")) # var == "/" is False, so it will evaluate var == "*" which is True, making the whole statement True
print(var == ("*" or "/")) # var == "*" is True, so the statement is True

Also, I put parentheses around ("/" or "*") to hopefully show the scope of OR but it evaluates the same either way
