Quick Example

python
day = "Saturday"
if day == "Saturday" or day == "Sunday":
    print("Weekend!")

age = 15
if age < 13 or age > 65:
    print("Discounted ticket")
else:
    print("Regular ticket")

# Check multiple possible values
color = "red"
if color == "red" or color == "blue" or color == "green":
    print(f"{color} is a primary color")

'or' returns True if at least one side is True. For checking against multiple values, 'in' is often cleaner than chaining 'or'.
