• what “|=” mean? (pipe equal operator) 6 answers

i'm looking @ following code snippet

bresult |= purgedatafordig(protocol); 

the variable bresult of type boolean.

am correct in assuming return of method purgedatafordig or'd bresult , result written bresult?

thanks paul.

that correct,

the above code snippet functionally same as:

res = purgedatafordig(protocol); bresult = bresult | res;
