			OPERATOR: Or Implemented in version 1.0 Or The Or operator is used to perform a logical disjunction on two expressions, where the expressions are Null, or are of Boolean subtype and have a value of True or False. The Or operator can also be used a "bitwise operator" to make a bit-by-bit comparison of two integers. If one or both bits in the comparison are 1, then a 1 is returned. Otherwise, a 0 is returned. When using the Or to compare Boolean expressions, the order of the expressions is important. Code: <% =True Or True %> <% =True Or False %> <% =False Or True %> <% =False Or False %> <% =True Or Null %> <% =Null Or True %> <% =False Or Null %> <% =Null Or False %> <% =Null Or Null %> Output: True True True False True True (Null output) (Null output) (Null output) In this example, the Or performs a bitwise comparison on the 1 (in binary 001) and the 2 (in binary 010), and returns a 3 (in binary 011). Code: <% Expression1 = 1 Expression2 = 2 Result = Expression1 Or Expression2 Response.Write "Result = " & Result %> Output: Result = 3
