Bitwise OR ( | )

Bitwise OR compares each bit of two integers. A bit in the result is 1 if at least one of the corresponding bits is 1; it is 0 only when both bits are 0.

Examples

1. 5 | 3

   • 5 = 0101
   • 3 = 0011
   • Result = 0111 = 7

2. 12 | 10

   • 12 = 1100
   • 10 = 1010
   • Result = 1110 = 14

3. 7 | 4

   • 7 = 0111
   • 4 = 0100
   • Result = 0111 = 7
