Code inspection: Redundant operand in logical conditional expression

If the first operand in a conditional OR operator evaluates to false, the value of the entire OR expression is determined by the second operand. Therefore, a constant false as the first operand is redundant and JetBrains Rider suggests removing the expression with the redundant operand:

            
private static void TestOr(string s)
{
    const bool b = false;
    bool a = b || s.Contains(".");
    Console.WriteLine(a);
}

        

            
private static void TestOr(string s)
{
    const bool b = false;
    bool a = s.Contains(".");
    Console.WriteLine(a);
}
