if statement OR logic oddity

Question

I'm calling this function from a jUnit test case with the following information:

// abbr = "US";
// Countries  = array of two objects one with iso2 = "us"
public Country getCountryFromAbbr(String abbr) {
    abbr = abbr.toLowerCase();
    for (int i = 0; i < Countries.size(); i++) {
        Country country = Countries.get(i);
        String iso2 = country.ISO2.toLowerCase();
        String iso3 = country.ISO3.toLowerCase();

        if (iso2.equals(abbr) || iso3.equals(abbr)) {
            return country;
        }
    }

    return null;
}

When I debug, the second object with ISO2 of us iso2.equals(abbr) is true and the other is false. However, country is not returned and the debugger finishes the loop and returns null.

I'm confused as true || false is true. Am I missing something?

Here's the mock of the countries:

    List<Country> Countries = new ArrayList<Country>();
    Country country = new Country();
    country.CountryId = 1;
    country.CountryName = "Great Britian";
    country.ISO2 = "GB";
    country.ISO3 = "GBR";
    Countries.add(country);

    Country usa = new Country();
    usa.CountryId = Studio.USA_COUNTRY_ID;
    usa.CountryName = "United States of America";
    usa.ISO2 = "US";
    usa.ISO3 = "USA";
    Countries.add(usa);
    return Countries;

EDIT: I'm using Eclipse and debugging using my Droid X 2.3.3

Answer 1

Does it work fine with simple if condition?

if (iso2.equals(abbr)) {
            return country;
        }
if(iso3.equals(abbr)){
       return country;
}
