Microsoft® JScript™ | Operator | Language Reference Version 1

See Also

##### Description

> Used to perform a bitwise OR on two expressions.

##### Syntax

> result = expression1 | expression2

> The | operator syntax has these parts:

> Part | Description
> result | Any variable.
> expression1 | Any expression.
> expression2 | Any expression.

##### Remarks

> The | operator looks at the binary representation of the values of two expressions and does a bitwise OR operation on them. The result of this operation behaves as follows:

> >     0101    (expression1)
> >     1100    (expression2)
> >     ----
> >     1101    (result)

> Any time either of the expressions has a 1 in a digit, the result will have a 1 in that digit. Otherwise, the result will have a 0 in that digit.

> For information on when a run-time error is generated by the | operator, see the Operator Behavior table.
