JScript |= Operator (JScript |'equals' Operator)

JScript |= Operator

Used to perform a bitwise OR on an expression.

Syntax: JScript |= Operator

result |= expression

Arguments: JScript |= Operator

result

Any variable.

expression

Any expression.

Remarks: JScript |= Operator

Using this operator is exactly the same as specifying:

result = result | expression

The |= operator looks at the binary representation of the values of result and expression and does a bitwise OR operation on them. The output of this operation behaves like this:

0101 (result)

1100 (expression)

----

1101 (output)

Any time either result or expression has a 1 in a digit, result will have a 1 in that digit, otherwise result will have a 0 in that digit.

For information on when a run-time error is generated by the |= operator, see the Operator Behavior table.
