Java BigInteger or() Method

The or() method of Java BigInteger class is used to find the Bitwise OR of two BigIntegers. This method returns a BigInteger whose value is (this | val).

Syntax:

Parameter:

val - value to be OR'ed with this BigInteger.

Returns:

This method returns (this | val).

Exception:

Note: This method returns a negative BigInteger if and only if either this or val is negative.

Example 1

import java.math.BigInteger;
public class BigIntegerOrExample1{
public static void main (String[] args)
{
// create 3 BigInteger object
BigInteger big1,big2,big3;
// assign value to big1and big2
big1= new BigInteger("8");  
big2= new BigInteger("2");  
// perform or operation on big1 and big2 
big3= big1.or(big2);  
String str = "OR operation on " + big1+ " and " + big2+" gives "+big3;
System.out.println(str);   

}
}

Test it Now

Output:

OR operation on 8 and 2 gives 10

Example 2

import java.math.BigInteger;
public class BigIntegerOrExample2{
public static void main (String[] args)
{
// create 3 BigInteger object
BigInteger big1,big2,big3;
// assign value to big1and big2
big1= new BigInteger("8");  
big2= new BigInteger("-2"); 		
// perform or operation on big1 and big2 
big3= big1.or(big2); 
String str = "OR operation on " + big1+ " and " + big2+" gives "+big3;
System.out.println(str);   

}
}

Test it Now

Output:

OR operation on 8 and -2 gives -2

Example 3

import java.math.BigInteger;
public class BigIntegerOrExample3{
public static void main (String[] args)
{
// create 3 BigInteger object
BigInteger big1, big2, big3;
// assign value to big1and big2
big1= new BigInteger("-8");  
big2= new BigInteger("-2");  
// perform or operation on big1 and big2 
big3= big1.or(big2);   
String str = "OR operation on " + big1+ " and " + big2+" gives "+big3;
System.out.println(str);   

}
}
