### 8.15 `AND` — Bitwise logical AND

Description:

  Bitwise logical `AND`.

  This intrinsic routine is provided for backwards compatibility with GNU Fortran 77. For integer arguments, programmers should consider the use of the IAND intrinsic defined by the Fortran standard.

Standard:

  GNU extension

Class:

  Function

Syntax:

  `RESULT = AND(I, J)`

Arguments:

  I | The type shall be either a scalar `INTEGER` type or a scalar `LOGICAL` type.
  J | The type shall be the same as the type of I.

Return value:

  The return type is either a scalar `INTEGER` or a scalar `LOGICAL`. If the kind type parameters differ, then the smaller kind type is implicitly converted to larger kind, and the return has the larger kind.

Example:

      PROGRAM test_and
        LOGICAL :: T = .TRUE., F = .FALSE.
        INTEGER :: a, b
        DATA a / Z'F' /, b / Z'3' /

        WRITE (*,*) AND(T, T), AND(T, F), AND(F, T), AND(F, F)
        WRITE (*,*) AND(a, b)
      END PROGRAM
