Name
| (bitwise OR)
Description
Compares each corresponding bit in the binary representation of the values. For each comparison two 1's yield 1, 1 and 0 yield 1, and two 0's yield 0. This is easy to see when we look at the binary representation of numbers
11010110 // 214 | 01011100 // 92 -------- 11011110 // 222
To see the binary representation of a number, use the binary() function with println().
Examples
int a = 255 << 24; // Binary: 11111111000000000000000000000000 int r = 204 << 16; // Binary: 00000000110011000000000000000000 int g = 204 << 8; // Binary 00000000000000001100110000000000 int b = 51; // Binary: 00000000000000000000000000110011 // OR the values together: 11111111110011001100110000110011 color argb = a | r | g | b; fill(argb); rect(30, 20, 55, 55);int a = 205; // In binary: 11001101 int b = 45; // In binary: 00101101 int c = a | b; // In binary: 11101101 println(c); // Prints "237", the decimal equivalent to 11101101
