AND
What AND means in Computer Science GCSE, as defined for OCR.
Definitions of AND
Exam boards and our study guides word this term in slightly different ways. Learn the version your board uses.
Check what you remember
Read the wording for your board, then hide it and explain AND in your own words. Rough notes are fine. This is a self-check, with no mark or grade.
Reference: OCR
A binary operator that produces True only when both of its operands are True; if either operand is False, the result is False.
Outputs True only when both inputs are True, so it narrows a search or requires two conditions together.
Combines conditions when both must be true, while OR is used when either may be true.
