Is it better to use "or" or || and is there any significant difference between them?

It's basically a matter of choice.

There is a difference however, when it comes to operand precedence:

if ( false && false || true ) // true

if ( false AND false || true ) // false

    personally, I've grown accustom to just using || since that is universal in most languages. Not all languages allow `OR` – kennypu Jan 01 '13 at 01:08
