Logic Gates: AND

The AND logic gate takes two bits as an input. Its output follows the rule: "only if both bits are $1$, output $1$; otherwise, output $0$." This gate acts exactly as the "and" operator in programming does: given the Boolean variables $x$ and $y$, the symbol: $x \&\& y$ (

$x \&\& y$

), $x \land y$, $x \cdot y$, or $xy$ means "$x$ and $y$". You may also use the bitwise $\&$ operator: $x \& y$.

Below is the AND gate diagram and truth table.
