Bitwise NOR
Bitwise NOR is like saying "none of the switches are turned on" when we are talking about two sets of switches. Imagine you have two sets of light switches and you want to know if neither set has any switch turned on.
When we apply NOR to two bits, it means that if any of the bits is true (turned on), the result will be false (turned off). If both bits are false, the result will be true. Think of it like a very simple security system.
For example, when NOR-ing 1 and 0, the result will be 0 because one of the bits is true. If we NOR 0 and 0, the result will be 1 because none of the bits is true. If we NOR 1 and 1, the result will be 0 because both bits are true.
So, bitwise NOR is basically a simple way to say "both sets of switches are off" when we are dealing with binary numbers (a bunch of 0's and 1's).
