\AND operator (logical)\

AND Operator

Logically combines two expressions.

Syntax:


Result = Expression1 And Expression2

Parameters:

\Result:\ Any numeric variable that records the result of the combination.

\Expression1, Expression2:\ Any expressions that you want to combine.

Boolean expressions combined with AND only return the value \True\ if both expressions evaluate to \True\:

\True\ AND \True\ returns \True\; for all other combinations the result is \False\.

The AND operator also performs a bitwise comparison of identically positioned bits in two numeric expressions.

Example:


Sub ExampleAnd
Dim A As Variant, B As Variant, C As Variant, D As Variant
Dim vVarOut As Variant
    A = 10: B = 8: C = 6: D = Null
    vVarOut = A > B And B > C REM returns -1
    vVarOut = B > A And B > C REM returns 0
    vVarOut = A > B And B > D REM returns 0
    vVarOut = (B > D And B > A) REM returns 0
    vVarOut = B And A REM returns 8 due to the bitwise AND combination of both arguments
End Sub
