Multiple comparisons in an if statement

Is it possible to have an OR or an AND statement in a comparison in an if statement?

EG:

if (Serial.available() or Variable2=true)

It's been a while, but I think you want
|| for our
&& for and
and don't forget == for comparison and = for assignment

ie:
if (Serial.available() || Variable2==true)

Excellent! Thanks

The underlying C++ compiler does recognize the keyword or and and, so you can use:

void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:
  int a = 5;
  int b = 6;

  Serial.begin(115200);
  if (a != b and b == 5)
    Serial.println("True");
  if (a == 5 or b == 6)
    Serial.println("True");
 
}

void loop() {
}

Being an old C hack, I just can't get used to using those keywords and prefer || and &&.

As another old C hack: yuck. If I wanted to program in BASIC, I'd program in BASIC.
