SYNOPSIS string and_bits(string str1, string str2) DESCRIPTION and are both bitstrings. The result of the function is a bitstring with the binary-and of and , ie. a string in which a bit is set only if both corresponding bits in the input strings are set, too. EXAMPLES string s1, s2, s3; s1 = set_bit("", 3); s1 = set_bit(s1, 15); -> s1 is "( (" s2 = set_bit("", 3); s2 = set_bit(s2, 4); -> s2 is "8" s3 = and_bits(s1, s2); -> s3 is now "8", ie. a bitstring with bit 3 set only.
