A logical operation which is true only if all of its elements are true. For example, if three out of three input bits have a value of 1, then the output is 1. Any other combination yields an output of 0. For such functions, a 1 is considered as a true, or high, value, and 0 is a false, or low, value. Also called AND operation, conjunction, or intersection (2).
