Issue #14768 has been updated by Earlopain (Earlopain _). Status changed from Open to Closed Today it's documented under https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/4.0/syntax/operators_rdoc.html ---------------------------------------- Misc #14768: Add documentation for || and && https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/14768#change-118555 * Author: sos4nt (Stefan Schüßler) * Status: Closed ---------------------------------------- The Ruby documentation doesn't seem to cover `||` and `&&`.

**and** – Short-circuit Boolean and with lower precedence than `&&` **or** – Short-circuit Boolean and with lower precedence than `||`

http://ruby-doc.org/core-2.5.1/doc/syntax/assignment_rdoc.html

There are also `||=` and `&&=`. The former makes an assignment if ...

But there's no documentation for the operators themselves. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
