Mask the three bits using AND. Test if resultant byte is 0 or greater than 0. If
 it is greater than 0, then the result should be set to 1.

Subject:        Oring bits within a byte

Good morning -

I'm trying to do the following:

I have a byte (let's call it TEMP), and I'm trying to logically 'OR'
together 3 of the bits within the byte.

ie. RESULT = (TEMP,3) or (TEMP,4) or (TEMP,5)

There doesn't seem to be any bit wise 'or' functions. Any ideas on how
to implement this?

Thanks in advance
