Bitwise Inclusive OR Operator

The bitwise inclusive OR operator (|) performs the bitwise inclusive OR function on its operands.

Syntax

inclusive-OR-expression ::=
    exclusive-OR-expression
    inclusive-OR-expression | exclusive-OR-expression

Description

The result of the binary operator | is the bitwise OR function of the two operands. Both operands must be integral types. The usual arithmetic conversions are performed on the operands. The type of the result is the converted type of the operands. The result is not an lvalue.

For each of the corresponding bits in the left operand, the right operand, and the result, the following table indicates the result of a bitwise OR operation.

Table 5-6 Bitwise OR Results

Bit in Left Operand	Bit in Right Operand	Bit in Result
0	0	0
0	1	1
1	0	1
1	1	1
