OR the number 18 (10010) with the number 3 (00011), yielding 19 (10011)
Code
print(bit.bor(18, 3))
Output 19


Explanation

All bit operations operate in binary numeral system [1]. An inclusive OR operation between two bits yields a 1 if either of the bits is 1 and a 0 if they are both 0. This function produces an output by computing the OR of each bit of its two inputs independently. So, for the example above:

Bit index: 4 3 2 1 0
Input 1 (18): 1 0 0 1 0
Input 2 (3): 0 0 0 1 1
Calculation: 18 has a 1 Both 0 Both 0 Both 1 3 has a 1
Output (19): 1 0 0 1 1
