Mr Santa checks if you are

naughty || nice

to see if you are eligible for a present.

Ho ho ho. Everyone is eligible for a present.

No no no. You're checking two booleans there. People who are naughty, nice, or both get a present. People who are neither naughty or nice get nothing.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

That's correct, hence everyone is eligible.
