Python Question
Pipe character in Python
I see a "pipe" character (
|res = c1.create(go, come, swim, "", startTime, endTime, "OK", ax|bx)
What is the meaning of the pipe in
ax|bx
Answer
It is a bitwise OR of integers. For example, if one or both of ax or bx are 1, this evaluates to 1, otherwise to 0. It also works on other integers, for example 15 | 128 = 143, i.e. 00001111 | 10000000 = 10001111 in binary.
