Chose your own adventure game, stuck

I started with a question simply asking "What is your name?" but now I can't see a place for && and ||.

OK this is getting really annoying! Chrome keeps giving me the "He's dead Jim" blue screen of death every time I visit Codacademy's jQuery course

jQuery variables

jQuery variables are done just like JavaScript variables except the are conventionally preceded by a "$" to show that the contain a jQuery object.

intro to jQuery.

jQuery is mostly like JavaScript except that it actually manipulates a website's source code. The overall syntax is the same except that jQuery has a unique syntax for its objects. It appears to be organized like HTML and CSS in the sense that it is like a tree, with object function sets within object function sets.

logical operators

&&
and - true only if all are true, false if only one is false:

true && true // = true
true && false // = false
false && true // = false
false && false // = false
||
or - true if only one is true, false only if all are false:

true || true // = true
true || false // = true
false || true // = true
false || false // = false
!
not so !true = false and !false = true
