BitOr

BitOr
gives the bitwise OR of the integers .
MORE INFORMATION
  • Integer mathematical function, suitable for both symbolic and numerical manipulation.
  • BitOr yields the integer whose binary bit representation has ones at positions where the binary bit representations of any of the have ones.
  • For negative integers BitOr assumes a two's complement representation.
  • BitOr automatically threads over lists.
