Name  

& (bitwise AND)

   
Examples   
unsigned int a = 60;	// 60 = 0011 1100 
unsigned int b = 13;	// 13 = 0000 1101 
unsigned int c = 0;           
 
c = a & b;              // 12 = 0000 1100

Description   Compares two expressions bit by bit and returns 1 for a position bit if both compared postitions are 1. Returns 0 for that position bit if one or both compared positions are 0. The following list shows all possible combinations:

1 & 0 // Evaluates 0 because the second is 0
0 & 1 // Evaluates 0 because the first is 0
1 & 1 // Evaluates 1 because both are 1
0 & 0 // Evaluates 0 because both are 0
   
Syntax
