Here is my code:
case input
when "quit" || "exit"
break
end
Only "quit" works here and not "exit".
How could I have "exit" work too without having to have a new "when" line?
To explain why the original wasn't working: The `||` operator returns the first "truthy" operand. For example, the expression `1 || 2` returns 1, while `nil || 2` returns 2. So the expression `"quit" || "exit"` is equivalent to just `"quit"`.

A:
||operator evaluates the latter when the former is nil. "quit" is not nil. So "quit" || "exit" is "quit".
