The double pipe means simply that if the first expression is true, then the second expression will not be considered. Whereas, a single pipe ( | ) means that both expressions will be evaluated. Now, I am not sure as to where that would mean anything. Can anyone provide an example where using a single pipe would produce different results than using a double pipe? IOW, why is there a difference?
