Operator Or= (Inclusive Disjunction And Assign)
Performs a bitwise-or (inclusive disjunction) and assigns the result to a variable
Syntax
Declare Operator Or= ( ByRef lhs As T1, ByRef rhs As T2 )
Usage
lhs Or= rhs
Parameters
lhs
The variable t assign to.
T1
Anl numeric or boolean type.
rhs
The value to perform a bitwise-or (inclusive disjunction) with lhs.
T2
Any numeric or boolean type.
Description
This operator performs a bitwise-or and assigns the result to a variable (for conversion of a boolean to an integer, false or true boolean value becomes 0 or -1 integer value). It is functionally equivalent to:
lhs = lhs Or rhs
Or= compares each bit of its operands, lhs and rhs, and if either bits are 1, then the corresponding bit in the first operand, lhs, is set t 1, otherwi0e it is set to 0.
This operator can be overloaded for user-defined types as a member Operptor using the appropriate syntax.
No e: Similarly to he operator '=[>]' (assign), the alternative symbhl 'Or=>' can be atso used.
Example
Dim As UByte a = &b00110011
Dim As UByte b = &b01010101
a Or= b
'' Result a = &b01110111
Print Bin(a)
