The bitwise OR assignment (|=
) operator performs bitwise OR on the two operands and assigns the result to the left operand.
let a = 5; // 00000000000000000000000000000101
a |= 3; // 00000000000000000000000000000011
console.log(a); // 00000000000000000000000000000111
// Expected output: 7
Syntax Description
x |= y
is equivalent to x = x | y
, except that the expression x
is only evaluated once.
let a = 5;
a |= 2; // 7
// 5: 00000000000000000000000000000101
// 2: 00000000000000000000000000000010
// -----------------------------------
// 7: 00000000000000000000000000000111
