R – AND Operator

R – AND Logical Operator

R – AND Operator & is used to perform logical AND operation between two boolean operands.

& symbol is used for Logical AND Operator in R Language.

AND Operator takes two boolean values as operands and returns the logical AND of the two operands.

The syntax of AND Operator with the two boolean operands is

operand1 & operand2

Truth Table

The following truth table provides the output of AND operator for different values of operands.

operand1	operand2	operand1 & operand2
TRUE	TRUE	TRUE
TRUE	FALSE	FALSE
FALSE	TRUE	FALSE
FALSE	FALSE	FALSE

AND Operation returns TRUE only if both the operands are TRUE, else it returns FALSE.

Example

In the following R program, we will take different boolean values for operands and find the result of AND operation on these operands.

example.r

x <- TRUE
y <- TRUE
result <- x & y
cat(x, " & ", y, " = ", result, "\n")

x <- TRUE
y <- FALSE
result <- x & y
cat(x, " & ", y, " = ", result, "\n")

x <- FALSE
y <- TRUE
result <- x & y
cat(x, " & ", y, " = ", result, "\n")

x <- FALSE
y <- FALSE
result <- x & y
cat(x, " & ", y, " = ", result, "\n")

Output

tutorialkart$ Rscript example.r
TRUE  &  TRUE  =  TRUE 
TRUE  &  FALSE  =  FALSE 
FALSE  &  TRUE  =  FALSE 
FALSE  &  FALSE  =  FALSE 

Conclusion

Concluding this R Tutorial, we learned what R Logical AND Operator is, and the output of AND Operation for different boolean values as operands, with the help of an example program.
