The [OR](OR) numerical operator returns a comparative bit value of 1 if either value's bit is on.
## Syntax
> result = firstValue [OR](OR) secondValue
## Description
* If both bits are off, it returns 0.
* If one or both bits are on then it returns 1.
* [OR](OR) never turns off a bit and can be used only to turn a bit on.
The results of the bitwise logical operations, where *A* and *B* are operands, and *T* and *F* indicate that a bit is set or not set:
| A | B | | [NOT](NOT) B | A [AND](AND) B | A [OR](OR) B | A [XOR](XOR) B | A [EQV](EQV) B | A [IMP](IMP) B |
| - | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | - |
| T | T | | F | T | T | F | T | T |
| T | F | | T | F | T | T | F | F |
| F | T | | F | F | T | T | F | T |
| F | F | | T | F | F | F | T | T |
**[Relational Operations](Relational-Operations) return negative one (-1, all bits set) and zero (0, no bits set) for *true* and *false*, respectively.**
This allows relational tests to be inverted and combined using the bitwise logical operations.
## Example(s)
OR always turns bits on! Never off.
```vb
a% = 5 ' 101 binary
b% = 4 ' 100 binary
results% = a% OR b% ' still 101 binary using OR
PRINT "Results% ="; results%
```
```text
Results% = 5
```
Turning a data register bit on.
```vb
address% = 888 'parallel port data register
bytevalue% = INP(address%)
OUT address%, bytevalue% OR 4
```
> *Explanation:* The third register bit is only turned on if it was off. This ensures that a bit is set. OR could set more bits on with a sum of bit values such as: OUT address%, 7 would turn the first, second and third bits on. 1 + 2 + 4 = 7
