Bitwise AND Assignment Operator (&=) (Windows Scripting - JScript)

Performs a bitwise AND on the value of a variable and the value of an expression and assigns the result to the variable.

Syntax

result &= expression

Arguments

• result
  Any variable.

• expression
  Any expression.

Remarks

Using this operator is exactly the same as specifying:

result = result & expression

The &= operator looks at the binary representation of the values of result and expression and does a bitwise AND operation on them. The output of this operation behaves like this:

0101    (result)
1100    (expression)
----
0100    (output)

Any time both of the expressions have a 1 in a digit, the result has a 1 in that digit. Otherwise, the result has a 0 in that digit.

Requirements
