| Operator (C# Reference)

Visual Studio 2010

Binary | operators are predefined for the integral types and bool. For integral types, | computes the bitwise OR of its operands. For bool operands, | computes the logical OR of its operands; that is, the result is false if and only if both its operands are false.

User-defined types can overload the | operator (see operator).

C#
Copy 

class OR
{
    static void Main()
    {
        Console.WriteLine(true | false);  // logical or
        Console.WriteLine(false | false); // logical or
        Console.WriteLine("0x{0:x}", 0xf8 | 0x3f);   // bitwise or
    }
}
/*
Output:
True
False
0xff
*/
