bitor operator

bitor operator

Bitwise inclusive or operator

---

  inclusive-or-expr  :=  inclusive-or-expr  ""  exclusive-or-expr   inclusive-or-expr  bitor  exclusive-or-expr  

The bitwise or operator requires integer or enumeration operands. It performs the usual arithmetic conversions, then does an inclusive or operation on pairs of bits in the operands, resulting in an integer. The bitor operator is interchangeable with the token.

Example

 unsigned bitmask = 0xF0F0; bitmask = bitmask   0x0102; // bitmask becomes 0xF1F2.
