Bitwise AND Operator (&) (Windows Scripting - JScript)

  • Article

 

Performs a bitwise AND on two expressions.

Syntax

result = expression1 & expression2

Arguments

  • result
    Any variable.

  • expression1
    Any expression.

  • expression2
    Any expression.

Remarks

The & operator looks at the binary representation of the values of two expressions and does a bitwise AND operation on them. The result of this operation behaves as follows:

0101   (expression1)
1100   (expression2)
----
0100   (result)

Any time both of the expressions have a 1 in a digit, the result has a 1 in that digit. Otherwise, the result has a 0 in that digit.
