OR statement in a while Loop

I am trying to get a while loop with an OR statement in it. I want it to end when either the player or the enemy hp reaches 0, but it won't end for the enemy hp hitting zero or for the player hp hitting zero. here is a sample that should simulate the code.

I end up just getting infinite loops. How do I get it to read the OR statment?

enemyhp=32;
playerhp=32;
while ((playerhp > 0) || (enemyhp > 0))
    playerhp = playerhp - 4
    %enemyhp = enemyhp - 4
end

Change to AND:

while ((playerhp > 0) && (enemyhp > 0))    

I.e., you only do the while loop when both hp are positive. It either one of them is not, then the while loop exits.
