VERDADERO

Good to know

Instead of O you can write ||. The symbol works in every profile; the word O works in profiles that allow word operators, like the default one.

Some details depend on your school's profile. See the language profiles.

In a flowchart

This is how it appears in a flowchart, with the same shapes Codoritmo draws.

dia = "sab" O dia = "dom"SíNo
Used inside a condition. It has no shape of its own; it's used inside a condition. Flowchart: a decision diamond with the condition "dia = "sab" O dia = "dom""; the Sí (yes) exit continues down and the No exit turns right.
