The verb for carrying out a bitwise OR/AND operation?

Question

I'm writing a scientific/technical text which involves describing some low level code. I need to complete the following sentence: > When two values are combined, their tags are _ _ _ _ _ _ together Where the dashed line should be filled with a word specifying the tags have been combined using a bitwise OR operation (or AND operation). I also need the word for the present tense.

Answer 1

I am not familiar with your subject content (bitwise) but it seems like the word merged might work well in this sentence.
