BITWISE OR Operator in VB.Net

Here, we will perform a BITWISE OR operation between two integer variables and print the result.

VB.Net code to demonstrate the example of BITWISE OR Operator

The source code to perform BITWISE OR operation is given below. The given program is compiled and executed successfully.

'VB.Net program to perform "BITWISE OR" operation.

Module Module1

    Sub Main()
        Dim num1 As Integer = 5
        Dim num2 As Integer = 2
        Dim res As Integer = 0

        res = num1 Or num2

        Console.WriteLine("Result: {0}", res)

        Console.ReadLine()
    End Sub

End Module

Output:

Result: 7

Explanation:

In the above program, we created a module Module1 that contains a function Main(). In the Main() function, we created three local variables num1, num2, and res that are initialized with 5, 2, and 0 respectively.

res = num1 Or num2

Now evaluate the above expression.

res = num1 Or num2
res = 5 Or 2

The binary equivalent of 5 is 101.

The binary equivalent of 2 is 010.

Then

101
010
====
111

That is 7.

At last, we printed the value of res on the console screen.
