Scripts are new to me.
The Linden Scripting Language Guide says; " & returns the bitwise and of left and right hand side."
Can someone please explain what is ment by bitwise ??

AND is a logic operator. It takes two bits ( a 0 or a 1 ) and returns 1 if they are both 1. With integers, it does this on each bit..
a 101010 // As decimal = 42
b 111001 // As decimal = 57
-------------------------------------
101000 // As decimal = 40
This is useful for testing if a specific bit is set, for example, with llGetPermissions... The if statement is true if the number it evaluates is more than one, so by doing llGetPermissions() & PERMISSION_DEBIT, you can check if it has debit permissions. I hope this helped. |

Good catch, thanks. I just ripped that off the wiki, and neglected to update the values.
