Another way to make a menu item active

Would it be possible to explain the logic of the code for those of us who don’t read it like a book?

I’m on my phone so this will be terse.

Mark the menu item as active if the menu item name equals current page title:

{{ $active = or $active (eq .Name $current.Title) }}

Mark the menu item as active if the current menu item name is Blog and the current page section is post:

{{ $active = or $active (and (eq .Name "Blog") (eq $current.Section "post")) }}

Mark the menu item as active if the current menu item name is Tags and the current page section is tags:

{{ $active = or $active (and (eq .Name "Tags") (eq $current.Section "tags")) }}

Also, I am not sure what exactly to look for. What makes the menu look active?

In the case of the Cupper theme, the menu item will be visually highlighted.
