BINIOR

Performs a bit by bit inclusive OR.

BINIOR( arg, arg )

Where:

arg = numeric-expression rounded to an INTEGER

Usage:

Set=BINIOR(Byte,Bit)

Msb=BINIOR(-1,2^14)

Example: BINIOR.BAS

Description:

BINIOR can be used to set specific bits. BINIOR(A,B) converts the values of A and B to integers. The integer values of A and B are then treated as unsigned binary numbers. Each bit of the result is set to 1 if the corresponding bit of either or both A or B is 1, and 0 if the corresponding bits of both A and B are 0. An example of BINIOR is:

BINIOR(12,6)

The numbers 12 and 6 are considered binary numbers, then the bitwise OR is performed.

12 = 0000000000001100

6 = 0000000000000110

BINIOR(12,6) = 0000000000001110

The resulting binary number represents 14.
