How to use || in function

Question

I have a function that checks user permissions and I want it to do this:

if(verify("O") || ("M"))

so that it checks if the user has the permission "O" or "M" but it does not work

You're close. This should work:

if(verify("O") || verify("M"))

If your function verify() only accepts one input. You need to call it again with the second input. Now, if either verify("O") or verify("M") returns true, your IF statement will return true.
