Bitwise Or

Format: x | y

Arguments: (int) x Any integer

(int) y Any integer

Returns: (int) Bitwise x OR y

Description: This operator converts x and y from floating point numbers to 32-bit integers, compares all corresponding bits in x and y, and then returns a number that contains a 1 in each bit where the corresponding bit in either x OR y is 1.

Examples: 15|7 = 15  (1111 | 0111 = 1111)

5|3 = 7  (0101 | 0011 = 0111)
