title: C# Bitwise Operator With Ints
body: <p>What does this expression actually mean??</p>
  
  <p>Note - the x and y vars are just sample values.</p>
  
  <pre><code>int x = 3; 
  int y = 1; 
  
  if ((x &amp; y) !=0)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I inherited a codebase and am not up to speed on bitwise operators. I have read up, but am still missing something. Help!</p>
