What does ⩔ mean?

440 Views Asked by At

It is probably not a very important question, but it got me very curious.

I found this symbol - $⩔$ in the list of unicode symbols and it states that it is "Double Logical Or".

What does it even mean? Shouldn't the result of the disjunction be the same as the double disjunction?

A screenshot of the question for those who can't see the symbol on their device.

If the example here is realistic, then it can be interpreted as a bitwise-OR operator:

In the language "R" the operators “|” and “&” indicate the logical operations OR and AND, but the longer form evaluates left to right examining only the first element of each vector. Source: "Logical operators in R".

In the language JavaScript bitwise operators (“|” and “&”) treat their operands as a sequence of 32 bits (zeroes and ones), rather than as decimal, hexadecimal, or octal numbers. However, the logical operators ("||" and "&&") actually return the value of one of the specified operands, so if these operators are used with non-Boolean values, they may return a non-Boolean value.

In MathJax \vee $\vee$, \wedge $\wedge$, \bigvee $\bigvee$, \bigwedge $\bigwedge$, \curlyvee $\curlyvee$, and \curlywedge $\curlywedge$ are different from \lor $\lor$ and \land $\land$ or \unicode{x2A54} $\unicode{x2A54}$ and \unicode{x2A53} $\unicode{x2A53}$.

How can I use MathJax / TEX to format bitwise operations?.
