Learn and Master C Programming - Bit-wise OR (|) operator

The video tutorial explains the bitwise OR operator, using an example to demonstrate how it works. The operator compares two binary digits and outputs a 1 if either digit is 1. The example provided shows how the operation results in a specific value, and the lecture concludes with a brief summary.

What is the primary function of a bitwise OR operator?

• To compare two numbers

• To perform logical AND operation

• To set a bit if either of the corresponding bits is 1

• To add two numbers

In the example given, what is the result of performing a bitwise OR on 4 and 5?

• 2

• 5

• 9

• 6

Which of the following is true about the bitwise OR operation?

• It only sets a bit if both corresponding bits are 1

• It inverts the bits

• It clears a bit if both corresponding bits are 0

• It sets a bit if either of the corresponding bits is 1

What is the result of a bitwise OR operation between 0 and 1?

• 0

• 2

• 3

• 1

What is the final result of the bitwise OR operation discussed in the lecture?

• 4

• 6

• 3

• 5
