AND operator in VBA

[daSpud]

I will appreciate it very much if somebody can instruct me how does AND operator work in the following code
wyn1 shows 92 - where does it come from - I can't understand

Thanks in advance

Sub tst()
Dim wyn As Long, wyn1 As Long

wyn = 167772 / 256 ^ 0
wyn1 = wyn And 255
Debug.Print wyn1
End Sub

167772 in binary is 0010 1000 1111 0101 1100 (hex 00028f5c) . when that is logically "anded" with 255 (in binary 0000 0000 1111 1111) you should get 92 (0000 0000 0101 1100) or hex 5c.

basically you are asking for the remainder of a number divided by 256.

the AND compares each bit in one number with the corresponding bit in the other number. If both are "1" then the result is "1" otherwise the result is "0". 255 is 8 bits of "1"s.
