BITOR(n1,n2)

where $n1$ and $n2$ specify the numeric values on which the bitwise OR operation is to be performed.

BITOR() returns the result of bitwise OR operation performed on numeric values.
$n1$ and $n2$ must be in decimal form and greater than or equal to 0.
In the result, each bit position is 1 if any of the parameter's $n1$ or $n2$ bits at that position are 1.
If either argument is a non-numeric value, BITOR returns the #VALUE! error value.

For Example,

BITOR(1,6) = 7

BITOR(true, true) = 1

=BITOR(3,5) = 7
=BITOR(17,-22) = -5
=BITOR(-9,-3) = -1
=BITOR(0.5,0.1) = 0
=BITOR(12, 7) = 15

 For Example,
-BITOR(1,6) = '''7'''  (The binary representation of 1 is 1, and the binary representation of 6 is 110. Result is returned as 7 i.e 111.
+BITOR(1,6) = '''7'''
-BITOR(true, true) =  '''1''' (Bit AND value of 'true' is '1'. Hence result is 1.)
+BITOR(true, true) =  '''1'''
