The Bitwise OR operation is a binary operation that takes two equal-length binary representations and performs the logical inclusive OR operation on each pair of corresponding bits. It results in a bit value of 1 if at least one of the compared bits is 1, otherwise, it results in a bit value of 0.

A binary operation is a calculation that combines two elements (operands) to produce another element within the same set. It is fundamental in algebraic structures such as groups, rings, and fields, where it must satisfy specific properties like closure, associativity, identity, and invertibility depending on the structure.
