BINAND

Performs a bit by bit logical AND.

BINAND( arg, arg )

Where:

arg = numeric-expression rounded to an INTEGER range -32768 to +32767

Usage:

I=BINAND(J,K)*6

IF BINAND(Low,4) THEN CALL Set

Example: BINAND.BAS

Description:

Use BINAND to clear or test specific bits. BINAND(A,B) converts the values of A and B to integers. The integer values of A and B are then treated as unsigned binary numbers. Corresponding bits in A and B are then ANDed together. If both corresponding bits in A and B are a 1 the resulting bit is set to a 1 otherwise it is set to a 0. The following example:

BINAND(12,6)

performs a bit by bit logical AND of 12 with 6.

12 = 0000000000001100

6 = 0000000000000110

BINAND(12,6) = 0000000000000100

The resulting binary number represents 4.
