WHAT DOES DISJUNCTION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Logical disjunction

In logic and mathematics, or is a truth-functional operator also known as disjunction and alternation. The logical connective that represents this operator is also known as "or", and typically written as or. The "or" operator produces a result of true whenever one or more of its operands are true. For example, in this context, "A or B" is true if A is true, or if B is true, or if both A and B are true. In grammar, or is a coordinating conjunction. An operand of a disjunction is called a disjunct. The "or" operator differs from the exclusive or in that the latter returns false when both of its inputs are true, while "or" returns true. In ordinary language, outside of contexts such as formal logic, mathematics and programming, "or" sometimes has the meaning of "exclusive or". For example, "Please ring me or send an email" likely means "do one or the other, but not both". On the other hand, "Her grades are so good that she's either very bright or studies hard" allows for the possibility that the person is both bright and works hard.
