ee.Array.bitwiseOr

  • TheArray.bitwiseOr method calculates the bitwise OR of two input arrays on an element-wise basis.

  • The method returns an array as the result.

  • Both the left-hand (this) and right-hand (right) values are arrays.

  • The examples demonstrate the bitwise OR operation with various integer inputs, including positive, negative, and hexadecimal values.

 On an element-wise basis, calculates the bitwise OR of the input values.

UsageReturns
Array.bitwiseOr(right)Array
ArgumentTypeDetails
this:leftArrayThe left-hand value.
rightArrayThe right-hand value.
