BITAND BITAND Bitwise Boolean And Operation Usage Performs a bitwise binary and operation on the two arguments and returns the result. The syntax for its use is y = bitand(a,b) where a and b are unsigned integer arrays. The and operation is performed using 32 bit unsigned intermediates. Note that if a or b is a scalar, then each element of the other array is anded with that scalar. Otherwise the two arrays must match in size.
