Example

The following example shows the usage of math.BigInteger.or() method.

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.math.*;

public class BigIntegerDemo {

   public static void main(String[] args) {

      // create 3 BigInteger objects
      BigInteger bi1, bi2, bi3;

      // assign values to bi1, bi2
      bi1 = new BigInteger("6");
      bi2 = new BigInteger("8");

      // perform or operation on bi1, bi2
      bi3 = bi1.or(bi2);

      String str = "OR operation on " + bi1 +" and " + bi2 + " gives " +bi3;

      // print bi3 value
      System.out.println( str );
   }
}

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −

OR operation on 6 and 8 gives 14
