The bit_or is an inbuilt function in C++ which is used to perform bitwise_or and return the result after applying the bitwise_or operation on it’s arguments.

Header File:

#include <functional.h>

Template Class:

template <class T> struct bit_or;

Parameters: It accepts a parameter T which is the type of the argument to be compared by the functional call.

Note:

  1. Objects of this class can be used on standard algorithms such as transform or accumulate.
  2. Member functions ( ‘operator()’ ) returns the bitwise_or of its arguments.

We must include the library ‘functional’ and ‘algorithm’ to use bit_or and transform() respectively.

Below is the illustration of bit_or in C++:

Problem 1:




// C++ program to show the
// functionality of bit_or
  
#include <algorithm> // to include transform
#include <functional> // to include bit_or
#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>
using namespace std;
  
int main()
{
    // declaring the values
    int xyz[] = { -7, 2, 5, 100, 1029 };
    int abc[] = { -4, 0, 5, 1, 1 };
    int n = 5;
    // defining results
    int results[n];
  
    // transform is used to apply
    // bitwise_or on the arguments
    transform(xyz, end(xyz), abc,
              results, bit_or<int>());
  
    // printing the resulting array
    cout << "Results:";
    for (const int& x : results)
        cout << ' ' << x;
  
    return 0;
}


Output:

Results: -3 2 5 101 1029

Some points to Remember

  1. Bitwise_or of a number with zero results into the number itself.
  2. Bitwise_or of two same numbers is also equal to that number itself
  3. If the number is odd it’s bit_or with 1 will result into same number
  4. If the number is even it’s bit_or with 1 will always results into “number+1”

Problem 2:




// C++ program to show the
// functionality of bit_or
  
#include <algorithm>
#include <functional>
#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>
using namespace std;
  
int main()
{
    // declaring the values
    // in form of hexadecimals
    int xyz[] = { 0, 1100 };
    int abc[] = { 0xf, 0xf };
  
    // defining results
    int results[2];
  
    // transform is used to apply
    // bitwise_or on the arguments
    transform(xyz, end(xyz), abc,
              results, bit_or<int>());
  
    // printing the resulting array
    cout << "Results:";
    for (const int& x : results)
        cout << ' ' << x;
  
    return 0;
}


Output:

Results: 15 1103
