Java Bitwise OR operator
Java Bitwise OR operator
In this tutorial, we will learn about the Java Bitwise OR operator with a simple Java program. The bitwise OR operator produces 1 if one or both of the corresponding bits in its operands are 1 and 0 if both of the corresponding bits are 0. The (|) is the bitwise OR operation symbol.
Table
The outcomes table with the bitwise OR operator is shown as follows:
| Operand: A | Operand: B | Bitwise OR: A | B |
| 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 0 | 1 | 1 |
| 1 | 0 | 1 |
| 1 | 1 | 1 |
The OR operator returns one in all cases except when the bits of both operands are zero.
Sample Program
Sample demo program to illustrate the operator usage.

public class BitwiseORDemo {
public static void main(String args[])
{
//Declare two variables
int A = 1;
int B = 0;
System.out.println("A | B =: " + (A | B));
A = 0;
B = 0;
System.out.println("A | B =: " + (A | B));
}
}
Sample output
A | B =: 1
A | B =: 0
The above program displays the two rows of the outcome table. Modify the A and B values to check the other rows of the outcome table for the OR operator.
