### 7.5 Logical Operators ¶

The logical operators take logical operands and produce logical results, meaning “true or false.” Logical operators are not true Boolean operators because they may also result in a system-missing value. See Boolean Values, for more information.

`a AND b` ¶
`a & b`

  True if both a and b are true, false otherwise. If one operand is false, the result is false even if the other is missing. If both operands are missing, the result is missing.

`a OR b` ¶
`a | b`

  True if at least one of a and b is true. If one operand is true, the result is true even if the other operand is missing. If both operands are missing, the result is missing.

`NOT a` ¶
`~ a`

  True if a is false. If the operand is missing, then the result is missing.
