self | other → integer

static VALUE
int_or(VALUE x, VALUE y)
{
    if (FIXNUM_P(x)) {
        return fix_or(x, y);
    }
    else if (RB_BIGNUM_TYPE_P(x)) {
        return rb_big_or(x, y);
    }
    return Qnil;
}

Bitwise OR; each bit in the result is 1 if either corresponding bit in self or other is 1, 0 otherwise:

Example

"%04b" % (0b0101 | 0b0110) # => "0111"

Raises an exception if other is not an Integer.
