Whereas for a more precise understanding of the concept, a two-inputs truth table of And the gate is listed below:

The graphical representation of "AND gate" is:

Note:

If you want to calculate dot product, you can use our Dot Product Definition.

Let us have a real-life example of using "And." Can tailor stitch clothes?

  • does the tailor can stitch?

  • do we buy clothes?

If tailor can stitch and we do have clothes, the result is true.

If tailor can't stitch and we do have clothes, the result is false.

If a tailor can stitch and we do not have clothes, the result is false.

If tailor can't stitch and we do not have clothes, the result is false.
