Hello Dr., at 52:51, I think there is a little mistake.


 You said that if we have 0 "OR" (||) something else, then this directly gives a 0.



Shouldn't we analyze the statement !(32>12) first? the reason it gives a 0 is because !(32>12) is false.


!(32>12) is false as the negation of 32>12, is the statement 32<12 which is false. However, if we originally had

0 || !(32<12), this will return true and not false, as the "OR" condition only implies false when both statements are false, while when at least one statement is true, the condition implies true. I think you mistook || for && because you were going fast.
