how does javascript or condition work

Question

i have written my code something like this

  this._users = users || [];

just wanted to know what does this mean to this._users?

Thanks for the help.

Curious why you've written code that you don't understand. – Andy Aug 21 '13 at 09:34 — Andy, Aug 21 '13 at 09:34

This basically is evaluating users to true or false. If it evaluation is true, than return users otherwise, assigns an empty array to this._users .
