Tensorflow bitwise.bitwise_or() method performs the bitwise_or operation and return those bits set, that are either set(1) in a or in b or in both. The operation is done on the representation of a and b. This method belongs to bitwise module.
Syntax: tf.bitwise.bitwise_or( a, b, name=None) Arguments
  • a: This must be a Tensor.It should be from the one of the following types: int8, int16, int32, int64, uint8, uint16, uint32, uint64.
  • b: This should also be a Tensor, Type same as a.
  • name: This is optional parameter and this is the name of the operation.
Return: It returns a Tensor having the same type as a and b.
Let's see this concept with the help of few examples: Example 1: Python3
# Importing the Tensorflow library 
import tensorflow as tf 

# A constant a and b 
a = tf.constant(43, dtype = tf.int32) 
b = tf.constant(5, dtype = tf.int32) 

# Applying the bitwise_or function 
# storing the result in 'c' 
c = tf.bitwise.bitwise_or(a, b) 

# Initiating a Tensorflow session 
with tf.Session() as sess:
    print("Input 1", a)
    print(sess.run(a))
    print("Input 2", b)
    print(sess.run(b))
    print("Output: ", c)
    print(sess.run(c))
Output:
Input 1 Tensor("Const_22:0", shape=(), dtype=int32)
43
Input 2 Tensor("Const_23:0", shape=(), dtype=int32)
5
Output:  Tensor("BitwiseOr_1:0", shape=(), dtype=int32)
47
Example 2: Python3
# Importing the Tensorflow library 
import tensorflow as tf 

# A constant vector of size 2 
a = tf.constant([1, 6], dtype = tf.int32) 
b = tf.constant([2, 5], dtype = tf.int32) 

# Applying the bitwise_or function 
# storing the result in 'c' 
c = tf.bitwise.bitwise_or(a, b) 

# Initiating a Tensorflow session 
with tf.Session() as sess:
    print("Input 1", a)
    print(sess.run(a))
    print("Input 2", b)
    print(sess.run(b))
    print("Output: ", c)
    print(sess.run(c))
Output:
Input 1 Tensor("Const_20:0", shape=(2, ), dtype=int32)
[1 6]
Input 2 Tensor("Const_21:0", shape=(2, ), dtype=int32)
[2 5]
Output:  Tensor("BitwiseOr:0", shape=(2, ), dtype=int32)
