Find logical AND
Description
performs
a logical AND of arrays A
& B
A
and B
and
returns an array containing elements set to either logical 1 (true
)
or logical 0 (false
). An element of the output
array is set to logical 1 (true
) if both A
and B
contain
a nonzero element at that same array location. Otherwise, the array
element is set to 0.
For bit-wise logical AND operations, see bitand

You can chain together several logical operations, for example,

perform different operations in MATLAB®. The element-wise AND operator described here is&

.When you use the element-wise
&
and|
operators in the context of anif
orwhile
loop expression (and only in that context), they use short-circuiting to evaluate expressions. Otherwise, you must specify&&

to opt-in to short-circuiting behavior. SeeShort-Circuit AND
