SIMD.and

The static SIMD.%type%.and() method returns a new instance with the logical AND of the lane values (a & b). This operation exists only on integer and boolean SIMD types.

Syntax

SIMD.Int8x16.and(a, b)
SIMD.Int16x8.and(a, b)
SIMD.Int32x4.and(a, b)

SIMD.Uint8x16.and(a, b)
SIMD.Uint16x8.and(a, b) 
SIMD.Uint32x4.and(a, b)

SIMD.Bool8x16.and(a, b) 
SIMD.Bool16x8.and(a, b) 
SIMD.Bool32x4.and(a, b)
SIMD.Bool64x2.and(a, b)

Parameters

a

An instance of a SIMD type.

b

Another instance of a SIMD type.

Return value

A new corresponding SIMD data type with the logical AND of the lane values (a & b).

Description

The bitwise AND operation only yields 1, if both a and b are 1. The truth table for the AND operation is:

a	b	a & b
0	0	0
0	1	0
1	0	0
1	1	1

For example, a bitwise AND of 5 & 1 results in 0001 which is 1 in decimal.

5  0101
1  0001
   ----
1  0001

Examples

Bitwise AND of two Int32x4

var a = SIMD.Int32x4(1, 2, 4, 8);
var b = SIMD.Int32x4(5, 5, 5, 5);
SIMD.Int32x4.and(a, b);
// Int32x4[1, 0, 4, 0]
