|= is "assignment or", the left value becomes the result of the bitwise
or of the left and right values. In this case, the right value is "1 <<
i_button".
<< is shift left, the bit pattern (here, 1) is shifted left the right
value number of bits (i_button). I'll leave it to you to check up on
what happens if the number of bits is negative or more than the size
in bits of the destination.
