# AND Operator

Logically combines two expressions.

## Syntax:

    Result = Expression1 And Expression2

## Parameters:

\<emph\>Result:\</emph\> Any numeric variable that records the result of the combination.

\<emph\>Expression1, Expression2:\</emph\> Any expressions that you want to combine.

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

\<emph\>True\</emph\> AND \<emph\>True\</emph\> returns \<emph\>True\</emph\>; for all other combinations the result is \<emph\>False\</emph\>.

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
