Bitwise And

Format: x & y

Arguments: (int) x Any integer

(int) y Any integer

Returns: (int) Bitwise x AND y

Description: This operator converts x and y from floating point numbers to 32-bit integers, compares all corresponding bits in x and y, and then returns a number that contains a 1 in each bit where the corresponding bits in both x AND y are 1.

Examples: 15&7 = 7  (1111 & 0111 = 0111)

5&3 = 1  (0101 & 0011 = 0001)
