rustBitwise AND operator usage in Rust

The bitwise AND operator (&) is used in Rust to perform a bitwise AND operation on two values. This operation compares the bits of two values and returns a new value with the bits set to 1 only if both bits are 1.

Example

let x = 0b1010;
let y = 0b1100;
let result = x & y;

Output example

result = 0b1000

Code explanation

• let x = 0b1010;: This line declares a variable x and assigns it the binary value 1010.
• let y = 0b1100;: This line declares a variable y and assigns it the binary value 1100.
• let result = x & y;: This line performs a bitwise AND operation on x and y, and assigns the result to the variable result.
