AND

AND is an instruction that takes an 8-bit input an compares it with the accumulator. It checks to see if both are set. If either one is reset, the resulting bit in the accumulator is zero.

0 and 0 result: 0
0 and 1 result: 0
1 and 0 result: 0
1 and 1 result: 1

Uses

The most important use of AND is in bit-masking. For more information on bit-masking, see here.
