Java Bitwise OR " |" Operator

     

In this section, you will learn how to use bitwise OR "|" operator in Java. The Java programming language has operators that perform bitwise operations. In the example below we have shown the usage of  bitwise OR "|" operator.

Description of code:

The bitwise OR "|" operator produces 1 if either one or both of the bits in its operands are 1. However, if both of the bits are 0 then this operator produces 0. To be more precise OR "|" operator returns 1 in all cases except when both the bits of both the operands are 0.  

In the program code given below, the corresponding bits of both operands are 1 and 0, hence we get 1 as output because one of the bits is 1. And if we take both the bits to be 0 then we will get 0 as an output.

Here is the code of program: 

class BitwiseOR{    public static void main(String args[]){   System.out.println(" | OR opeartor");   int x = 0 | 0;   System.out.println("0 | 0 = " + x);  } }

Output of the program:

C:\unique>javac BitwiseOR.java C:\unique>java BitwiseOR | OR opeartor 1 | 0 = 1 C:\unique>
