-->ord('q') returns the Unicode code point of q -->cv2.waitkey(1) returns a 32-bit integer corresponding to the pressed key -->& 0xFF is a bit mask which sets the left 24 bits to zero, because ord() returns a value betwen 0 and 255, since your keyboard only has a limited character set -->Therefore, once the mask is applied, it is then possible to check if it is the corresponding key. 👌👌👌
