bitwise operators works with each bit in numbers logical OR operation of each bit in compared numbers: 5 OR 3 return 7 because 5 = 0101 binary 3 = 0011 binary 0111 binary result, 7 as decimal representation so 0b101 | 0b011 = 7 5 | 3 = 7 logical operation works in correct way with boolean true false values true || false = true but in JS is possible to use non "empty" value as true and "empty" value like zero or null as false so 5 || 3 = 5 means true || true = true (note, = in this post means "returns")
