whatdoes the same thing as | in python in python

In Python, the operator | is used for bitwise OR operation on integers. If you want to achieve the same functionality as | on two integers a and b in Python, you can use the or keyword for a logical OR operation. Here's an example:

main.py
a = 10
b = 5
result = a | b
# This is the same as :
result_alternative = a or b

print(result)  # Output: 15
print(result_alternative)  # Output: 10
149 chars
9 lines

Please note that these two approaches are not exactly the same as the or keyword would return the first value if it is truthy, otherwise the second one, while bitwise OR | would perform a bitwise operation on the binary representations of the integers.
