And—Returns false if obj is nil or false, true otherwise.
static VALUE
true_and(VALUE obj, VALUE obj2)
{
return RBOOL(RTEST(obj2));
}
obj === other → true or false

Case Equality – For class Object, effectively the same as calling #==, but typically overridden by descendants to provide meaningful semantics in case statements.

true ^ obj → !obj

Exclusive Or—Returns true if obj is nil or false, false otherwise.
static VALUE
true_xor(VALUE obj, VALUE obj2)
{
return rb_obj_not(obj2);
}
to_s → "true"

The string representation of true is “true”.

rb_true_to_s(VALUE obj)
{
return rb_cTrueClass_to_s;

Or—Returns true. As obj is an argument to a method call, it is always evaluated; there is no short-circuit evaluation in this case.
true | puts("or") true || puts("logical or")
produces:
or
static VALUE
true_or(VALUE obj, VALUE obj2)
{
return Qtrue;
