What is a bitwise NOR operation?

A bitwise NOR operation is the complement of OR operation. It compares each bit of two binary numbers and returns 1 only if both bits are 0, otherwise returns 0.

When should I use NOR operation?

NOR operation is commonly used in digital logic design and is functionally complete, meaning it can be used to implement any other logical function.

What is the difference between NOR and OR?

NOR is the complement (NOT) of OR. If OR returns 1, NOR returns 0, and vice versa.
