Chapter 5 95
The following table shows an example of the bitwise AND operator:
Bitwise Inclusive (|) OR The bitwise inclusive OR operator performs logical operations on
a bit-by-bit level using the following truth table:
The bitwise inclusive OR operator (|) places a 1 in the resulting value's bit position if either
operand has a bit set at the position.
