Bitwise inclusive OR operator |

The | (bitwise inclusive OR) operator compares the values (in binary format) of each operand and yields a value whose bit pattern shows which bits in either of the operands has the value 1.

Note:

vector
double

will not cause IEEE exception.

The following table lists the vector data types accepted as the operands, and the corresponding returned vector data types:
