bitand operator
| bitand operator | Bitwise and operator |
and-expr := and-expr & equality-expr | and-expr bitand equality-expr |
The bitwise and operator requires integer or enumeration operands. It performs the usual arithmetic conversions, then does an and operation on pairs of bits in the operands, resulting in an integer.
The bitand keyword is interchangeable with the & token.
Example
unsigned bitmask = 0xFFFF; bitmask = bitmask & ~0x7E; // bitmask becomes 0xFF81
