BigInteger.BitwiseAnd Operator

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Shared Operator And ( _
    left As BigInteger, _
    right As BigInteger _
) As BigInteger

public static BigInteger operator &(
    BigInteger left,
    BigInteger right
)

Remarks

The BitwiseAnd method defines the bitwise And operation for BigInteger values. The bitwise And operation sets a result bit only if the corresponding bits in left and right are also set, as shown in the following table.

The BitwiseAnd method enables code such as the following:

Dim number1 As BigInteger = BigInteger.Add(Int64.MaxValue, Int32.MaxValue)
Dim number2 As BigInteger = BigInteger.Pow(Byte.MaxValue, 10)
Dim result As BigInteger = number1 And number2

BigInteger number1 = BigInteger.Add(Int64.MaxValue, Int32.MaxValue);
BigInteger number2 = BigInteger.Pow(Byte.MaxValue, 10);
BigInteger result = number1 & number2;

The BitwiseAnd method performs the bitwise And operation on two BigInteger values as if they were both in two's complement representation with virtual sign extension.
