ee.Number.bitwiseOr

  • This function calculates the bitwise OR of two numbers, left and right.

  • The result is a new number where each bit is set to 1 if the corresponding bit in either left or right is 1, otherwise it's set to 0.

  • It's demonstrated with an unsigned 8-bit example where 25 bitwise OR 21 results in 29.

  • Examples are provided for JavaScript, Python with geemap, and Python in Colab.

 Calculates the bitwise OR of the input values.

UsageReturns
Number.bitwiseOr(right)Number
ArgumentTypeDetails
this: leftNumberThe left-hand value.
rightNumberThe right-hand value.
