What does the && operator do in Ruby?

The && operator returns true only if both conditions on its sides are true. It's like saying "and" in everyday language.

The || operator returns true if at least one of the conditions is true. It's like saying "or" in everyday language.

What does the ! operator do in Ruby?

The ! operator reverses the truth value. If something is true, ! makes it false, and if false, ! makes it true.

! reverses the truth value, so true becomes false.

Which expression is true in Ruby?

!false is true.
