Help understanding why this was done this way
Post Body
Let me preface this with "I am a Programmer but not a Python Programmer".
I've got a Home Assistant script written in Python and want to understand why this was done. Since I need to modify this script I want to at least understand the code.
states = hass.states.get(entity_id)
current_level = (states.attributes.get('brightness') or 0) step
What is the purpose of the OR 0 statement part of the above? I'm assuming it has something to do with assuring that the brightness level is numeric before doing arithmetic on it.
