By "(binary a(n)) OR (binary a(n-1))", it is meant: Write a(n) and a(n-1) in binary (with the smallest, and only the smallest, of the two padded with the appropriate number of leading 0's so that both representations are the same number of binary digits long). OR respective binary digits. Here, each pair of respective digits OR'ed should be 1.
