Clarification: for short circuit "and" no tests are evaluated after the first "false". For short circuit "or" no tests are evaluated after the first true.

| applies to each element in the array, || applies to a scalar condition:
[1 0 1] | [ 0 0 1]
v.
[1 0 1] || [ 0 0 1]

Ran in:
It is unclear to me what those code examples are supposed to clarify:
[1 0 1] | [0 0 1]
ans = 1×3 logical array
1 0 1
[1 0 1] || [0 0 1]
Operands to the logical AND (&&) and OR (||) operators must be convertible to logical scalar values. Use the ANY or ALL functions to reduce operands to logical scalar values.
