someone want to give a dissertation on the logic of the & operation (sample code from a script taken for example)

code:

if $productsuite
if $productsuite & 1
$os_suite=$os_suite+'Small Business |'
endif
if $productsuite & 2
$os_suite=$os_suite+'Enterprise |'
endif
if $productsuite & 4
$os_suite=$os_suite+'BackOffice |'
endif
if $productsuite & 8
$os_suite=$os_suite+'Communication Server |'
endif
if $productsuite & 16
$os_suite=$os_suite+'Terminal Server |'
endif
if $productsuite & 32
$os_suite=$os_suite+'Small Business (Restricted) |'
endif
if $productsuite & 64
$os_suite=$os_suite+'Embedded NT |'
endif
if $productsuite & 128
$os_suite=$os_suite+'DataCenter |'
endif
if $productsuite & 256
$os_suite=$os_suite+'Single User Terminal Server |'
endif
if $productsuite & 512
$os_suite=$os_suite+'Home Edition |'
endif
if $productsuite & 1024
$os_suite=$os_suite+'Blade Server |'
endif
if instr($os_suite,'|')
$os_suite=left($os_suite,len($os_suite)-2)
endif
