BitAnd

gives the bitwise AND of the integers

Integer mathematical function, suitable for both symbolic and numerical manipulation.

BitAnd yields the integer whose binary bit representation has ones at positions where the binary bit representations of all of the have ones.

Out[1]=

Out[2]=

Use numbers of any size:

BitAnd takes any number of arguments:

Use negative numbers:

Basic symbolic simplifications are done automatically:

Extract the second-lowest-order bits in numbers:
