Lesson 40: AND Bitwise Operations and Truth Table in C: Understanding & (AND). #shorts.

In C programming, the bitwise AND operator, denoted by "&", performs a logical AND operation on each pair of corresponding bits of two operands. It returns a value where each bit is set to 1 only if both corresponding bits in the operands are also 1; otherwise, the bit is set to 0.

The truth table for the bitwise AND operation is as follows:

Operand 1
0 0 0
0 1 0
1 0 0
1 1 1

One common example where the AND (&) bitwise operator is used is to extract specific bits or apply a bitmask to isolate certain bits of interest. The AND operation with a specific mask can help in extracting or filtering out desired information from a binary representation.
