What does this line mean:

P0IFG = (HAL_KEY_P0INT_LOW_USED | HAL_KEY_POINT_HIGH_USED);

Where:
#define HAL_KEY_P0INT_LOW_USED 0
#define HAL_KEY_POINT_HIGH_USED 0

What will be inside P0IFG after that line, if before that line, his value was xxxxxxxx (eight 'x's).

Thanks.

Should be zeros!
Was this a trick question?

no, thanks.

So if HAL_KEY_POINT_HIGH_USED was equal 1,
Then the value of P0IFG
would be 0x0F?

0 OR 0 = 0
I'm not sure why you're having a problem with this question?

I guess,

1. there's no such numeric value as 8 x's unless it was something like base 40 or something.

2. The pipe character '|' is a bitwise or operator in C. Google 'bitwise or' and you'll get an explanation of how it works.

In digital logic x's are commonly used to indicated an 'unknown' state.

No it would be 1
as in 0x01 | 0x00 = 0x01
