# .|(_:_:)

A vector mask that is the pointwise logical disjunction of the inputs.

## Declaration

```swift
static func .| (a: SIMDMask<Storage>, b: SIMDMask<Storage>) -> SIMDMask<Storage>
```

## Discussion

Discussion Equivalent to: var result = SIMDMask<SIMD32<Int32>>() for i in result.indices {   result[i] = a[i] || b[i] } Note that unlike the scalar || operator, the SIMD .| operator always fully evaluates both arguments.
