Bitwise OR Operator

The | operator is a binary (infix) bitwise OR operator. This should not be confused with the || operator which is a logical OR operator. The | operator expects an integer right hand operand and an integer left hand operand. If either operand is a string, it will be automatically coerced to an integer before the OR operator is applied.

syntax:

	<left_expr> | <right_expr>

<left_expr> and <right_expr> are refered to as the left and right operand respectively and may themselves be simple values or complex expressions.

e.g.
	0x1234 | 0x00F0			yields 0x12F4
	0x1234 | 0x0800			yields 0x1A34

	(0x1204 + 0x0052) | 0x0800	yields 0x1A56
