numpy.bitwise_and

numpy.bitwise_and(x1, x2[, out])

Compute the bit-wise AND of two arrays element-wise.

Computes the bit-wise AND of the underlying binary representation of the integers in the input arrays. This ufunc implements the C/Python operator &.

Parameters:

x1, x2 : array_like

Only integer types are handled (including booleans).

Returns:

out : array_like

Result.

logical_and, bitwise_or, bitwise_xor

binary_repr

Return the binary representation of the input number as a string.

Examples

The number 13 is represented by 00001101. Likewise, 17 is represented by 00010001. The bit-wise AND of 13 and 17 is therefore 000000001, or 1:

>>> np.bitwise_and(13, 17)
1

>>> np.bitwise_and(14, 13)
12
>>> np.binary_repr(12)
'1100'
>>> np.bitwise_and([14,3], 13)
array([12,  1])

>>> np.bitwise_and([11,7], [4,25])
array([0, 1])
>>> np.bitwise_and(np.array([2,5,255]), np.array([3,14,16]))
array([ 2,  4, 16])
>>> np.bitwise_and([True, True], [False, True])
array([False,  True], dtype=bool)
