The bitwise AND assignment (&=) operator performs bitwise AND on the two operands and assigns the result to the left operand.

Syntax

x &= y

Description

x &= y is equivalent to x = x & y, except that the expression x is only evaluated once.

Examples

Using bitwise AND assignment

let a = 5;
// 5:     00000000000000000000000000000101
// 2:     00000000000000000000000000000010
a &= 2; // 0

let b = 5n;
b &= 2n; // 0n
