AND (And)

The AND instruction performs a logical AND for two numbers. The AND

instruction uses one of two addressing modes:

In implicit addressing mode, the AND instruction retrieves both TOS and

NEXT from the data stack and performs a bitwise logical AND for them.

TOS and NEXT are consumed, and the result is placed in TOS. The

operation clears the Carry flag.

In immediate addressing mode, the AND instruction (AND #number)

performs a bitwise logical AND for a specified constant number with the

value of TOS, and the result is placed in TOS. The value of number must

resolve at link time to a value in the range -128 to +127. The operation

clears the Carry flag.

The AND instruction applies to Series 3100, 5000, and 6000 devices.

Syntax:
In implicit addressing mode, the AND instruction requires no operands:

AND

In immediate addressing mode, the AND instruction requires one operand:

AND #number

The number sign or hash (#) is required to specify the immediate value.
Table 14 describes the attributes of the AND instruction.

Example:
The following example performs the operation 2 AND 3 AND 4.

pushs #2 ; (2, -, -)

pushs #3 ; (3, 2, -)

and ; (2, -, -)

and #4 ; (0, -, -)

The value of TOS after the first AND instruction is 2 because 2 AND 3 = 2. The

AND #4 instruction performs a logical AND of 4 with TOS (4 AND 2), so that

TOS then contains 0.
