# Function Reference

# BitOR

Performs a bitwise OR operation.

BitOR ( value1, value2 [, value n] )

## Parameters

value1 | The first number.
value2 | The second number.
value n | [optional] The nth number - up to 255 values can be specified.

## Return Value

Returns the two parameters bitwise-OR'ed together.
Bit operations are performed as 32-bit integers.

## Remarks

Remember hex notation can be used for numbers.
BitOR() returns 0 in each bit position where all input arguments have a 0 in the corresponding position and 1 wherever there is at least one 1-bit.
