Bitwise NOR calculator
Apply NOR to two integers and read the result as unsigned decimal, hexadecimal, octal, and 32-bit padded binary. NOR computes OR on both 32-bit words and then inverts every bit in the result.
Clearing multiple bits
NOR is one way to force a set of bits to zero while also inverting everything else. In software it is mostly encountered when translating hardware logic descriptions directly into code, or when working with RISC instruction sets that expose NOR as a native operation.
Fixed 32-bit word
The inversion step makes the word size critical. This page fixes the word at 32 bits, so all results reflect a 32-bit unsigned NOT applied after OR. Input accepts decimal, hexadecimal (0xFF), binary (0b10110010), and octal (0o377) automatically. For a different word size, use the full Bitwise Calculator.
