but thyes are different things.

a && b || c, is "run c unles both a and b succeed".

You typically use these things in if statements like

if a && b || c; then
  ...
fi


You could always do something like:

alias -g '^=else'
if ((x)){echo yes} ^ {echo no}

(can be shortened to if((x)){echo yes} ^ {echo no} with zsh -o
noglobqual -o shglob).

Or even:

alias -g '&|=else'
alias '?=if'
? ((x)){echo yes}&|{echo no}
