title: What's does the vertical bar mean in JavaScript?
body: <p>I came across this code at school</p>
  
  <pre><code>var CAR = ' |8|9|10|11|12|13|15|16|';
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I understand that this is a variable named car, but I don't understand how it's being initialized or what it means.</p>
