11.3 Bitwise OR ()

I l @ ve RuBoard

The inclusive OR operator (also known as just the OR operator) compares its two operands. If one or the other bit is a 1, the result is 1. Table 11-4 lists the truth table for the OR operator.

Table 11-4. Bitwise OR operator

Bit1	Bit2	Bit1 Bit2
	1	1
1		1
1	1	1

Here's an example of bitwise OR performed on a byte:

 i1=0x47       01000111       i2=0x53       01010011 ______________________________          0x57        01010111
