How to add two numbers without using arithmetic operators?..

Answer / selloorhari

Hi Nitish,

If we will do the LOGICAL OR function then we will get
either 1 or 0.
If we will do the BITWISE OR then we will get the largest of
the two..

For
ex:
Let us take, First number as 2 and Second number as 3..
Then as per the first case we will get 1 as the output.
10(2) || 11(3) -> 1(1)
As per the second case the output will be 3..
10(2) | 11(3) -> 11(3).
Ok
