Hi I am confused about exercise 2, where it was asked to compare midnight and date to print a message,

how does it makes a difference if i have used date and midnight than midnight and date

let midnight = true 
let date = "January 1, 2020"

// Write your code below 🎊

if midnight && date == "January 1, 2020" {
  print("It's the start of a new decade!")
}

VS

let midnight = true 
let date = "January 1, 2020"

// Write your code below 🎊

if date == "January 1, 2020" && midnight {
  print("It's the start of a new decade!")
}

I had written my code as 2) but the script tool failed my attempts.

Not sure if this is for lesson SafetyFirst.Swift or the && exercise… But I am going to be sharing for the SafteyFirst.Swift

For this one we talk about in my own translation a OR statement. Not sure if I am fully understanding it but “||” is used in a replacement for OR. Can this only be used for an if statement and when would you typically find yourself using this opposed to something else? Is it just to save time? Thank you, having fun and keep up the good work code gang !!
