What is OR Calculator?

OR Calculator computes the bitwise OR operation — the result bit is 1 whenever at least one of the corresponding input bits is 1. OR is commonly used to set specific bits in a value (by ORing with a bitmask), combine flag values, and merge feature flags.

How to Use OR Calculator

Select input base.

Enter two numbers.

The OR result appears in all bases.

Common Use Cases

Setting specific bits in a register using a bitmask.
Combining permission flags or feature flags.
Merging two packed bitfield values.

Example Input and Output

12 OR 10 (decimal).

A=12, B=10

A: 12 (1100₂)
B: 10 (1010₂)

OR result

OR: 14 (1110₂)

Frequently Asked Questions

What does bitwise OR do?

Bitwise OR compares each bit position. The result bit is 1 when at least one input bit is 1. It is used to set specific bits while leaving others unchanged.
