## &

& — Bitwise AND operator.

## Description

The bitwise operators perform operations of bitwise AND, bitwise OR, bitwise NOT and bitwise non-equivalence.

## Syntax

    a & b  (bitwise AND)

where the arguments a and b may be further expressions. They are converted to the nearest integer to machine precision and then the operation is performed.

## Performance

The priority of these operators is less binding that the arithmetic ones, but more binding that the comparisons.

Parentheses may be used as above to force particular groupings.

## Examples

Here is an example of the bitwise AND and OR operators. It uses the file bitwise.csd.

Example 37. Example of the bitwise operators.
