numpy.bitwise_and(x1, x2, /, out=None, *, where=True, casting='same_kind', order='K', dtype=None, subok=True[, signature, extobj]) = <ufunc 'bitwise_and'>

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 and boolean types are handled.

out : ndarray, None, or tuple of ndarray and None, optional

A location into which the result is stored. If provided, it must have a shape that the inputs broadcast to. If not provided or None, a freshly-allocated array is returned. A tuple (possible only as a keyword argument) must have length equal to the number of outputs.

where : array_like, optional

Values of True indicate to calculate the ufunc at that position, values of False indicate to leave the value in the output alone.

**kwargs

For other keyword-only arguments, see the ufunc docs.

Returns:
out : ndarray or scalar

Result. This is a scalar if both x1 and x2 are scalars.

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])
