PHP foreach if和use || 有变量

Question

I have the following snippet in a block of code and I need to make sure I am understanding it correctly. As I understand it, doesn't this contradict itself? What is the point of having this RecordType==2 and also !=2?

Snippet:

if( ($row['RecordType']==2 && $row['AssignedTech'] == $empnumber) || ($row['RecordType']!=2))

My Interpretation:

If the RecordType EQUALS 2 AND AssignedTech EQUALS $empnumber OR RecordType DOES NOT EQUAL 2

Answer 1

It could be simplified to:

if ($row['RecordType'] !=2 || $row['AssignedTech'] == $empnumber)

If RecordType is 2, then AssignedTech should be $empnumber, otherwise it doesn't matter and we're all good.
