Logical operators can be used to build more complex expressions.

The logical operators are:

AND

OR

Considerations

Two subexpressions joined by a logical operator form a logical expression.
Logical expressions resolve to a Boolean value: 1/0 or TRUE/FALSE.
Use parentheses--()--to group expressions logically and to join multiple expressions.
Parentheses are used in pairs; each open parenthesis "(" requires a closing parenthesis ")".
For example:

((<expression1> AND <expression2>) OR (<expression3> AND <expression_4>))
