The `or` and `and` operators take two parameters and return a boolean result. `not` flips a boolean from true to false, or vice versa. `any` will return `true` if there are any `true` values in a array sequence, and `all` will return true if _all_ elements in an array are true. These are most commonly used with the `select` operator to filter particular nodes. ## OR example Running ```bash yq eval --null-input 'true or false' ``` will output ```yaml true ``` ## AND example Running ```bash yq eval --null-input 'true and false' ``` will output ```yaml false ``` ## Matching nodes with select, equals and or Given a sample.yml file of: ```yaml - a: bird b: dog - a: frog b: bird - a: cat b: fly ``` then ```bash yq eval '[.[] | select(.a == "cat" or .b == "dog")]' sample.yml ``` will output ```yaml - a: bird b: dog - a: cat b: fly ``` ## ANY returns true if any boolean in a given array is true Given a sample.yml file of: ```yaml - false - true ``` then ```bash yq eval 'any' sample.yml ``` will output ```yaml true ``` ## ANY returns true if any boolean in a given array is true Given a sample.yml file of: ```yaml - false - true ``` then ```bash yq eval 'any' sample.yml ``` will output ```yaml true ``` ## ANY returns false for an empty array Given a sample.yml file of: ```yaml [] ``` then ```bash yq eval 'any' sample.yml ``` will output ```yaml false ``` ## ALL returns true if all booleans in a given array are true Given a sample.yml file of: ```yaml - true - true ``` then ```bash yq eval 'all' sample.yml ``` will output ```yaml true ``` ## ANY returns true for an empty array Given a sample.yml file of: ```yaml [] ``` then ```bash yq eval 'all' sample.yml ``` will output ```yaml true ``` ## Not true is false Running ```bash yq eval --null-input 'true | not' ``` will output ```yaml false ``` ## Not false is true Running ```bash yq eval --null-input 'false | not' ``` will output ```yaml true ``` ## String values considered to be true Running ```bash yq eval --null-input '"cat" | not' ``` will output ```yaml false ``` ## Empty string value considered to be true Running ```bash yq eval --null-input '"" | not' ``` will output ```yaml false ``` ## Numbers are considered to be true Running ```bash yq eval --null-input '1 | not' ``` will output ```yaml false ``` ## Zero is considered to be true Running ```bash yq eval --null-input '0 | not' ``` will output ```yaml false ``` ## Null is considered to be false Running ```bash yq eval --null-input '~ | not' ``` will output ```yaml true ```
