true & obj → true or false Show source 
static VALUE
true_and(VALUE obj, VALUE obj2)
{
    return RTEST(obj2)?Qtrue:Qfalse;
}

And—Returns false if obj is nil or false, true otherwise.

true ^ obj → !obj Show source 
static VALUE
true_xor(VALUE obj, VALUE obj2)
{
    return RTEST(obj2)?Qfalse:Qtrue;
}

Exclusive Or—Returns true if obj is nil or false, false otherwise.

Also aliased as: inspect
true | obj → true Show source 
static VALUE
true_or(VALUE obj, VALUE obj2)
{
