VERY FEW Know About THIS Operator in Python 🧐

Very few know about this operator in #Python. This one is known as the ior operator. #Shorts

[duccie]

in this context I'd call it the union operator

[AryanSingh-vwry]

Its simple set theory
The | operator works as "Union" of the set I.E. returning all the unique elements of both sets combined, similarly the & operator must return the intersection of both sets. It is so because of how it works in probability and combinatorics if you've noticed.
Like if there are cases in combinatorics then you have to use the or operator and add the unique events, that leads to union and if you need two conditions to be true at once you use "and" in the sense of finding the intersection.

This is such a great way to learn python! Thanks mate, keep it up!!!

i thought this is only for match case. thanks for the info again

Can u do that as matrix
A={1 2 3 4}
B={6 7 8 9}

Result:

1 2 5 6
3 4 7 8

Union, Intersection, Difference And Symmetric Difference Are The Set Operators I Know....

Is | and |= any different from + and +=?

[lefteriseleftheriades]

That's not bitwize operation that's just set union.

[felixbemme]

So whats the point?
A use case for stuff like this would be nice to understand.

This is what you get when you mix up bitwise operators with set operators...
This guy needs to first learn what operator overloading is...
