3728-1972&+2973

It depends on interpretation.

• If you mean standard arithmetic: 3728 - 1972 + 2973 = (3728 - 1972) + 2973 = 1756 + 2973 = 4729.

• If you mean bitwise AND (as in programming): compute (3728 - 1972) & 2973 = 1756 & 2973.

  • 1756 = 0x06DC
  • 2973 = 0x0B9D
  • 0x06DC & 0x0B9D = 0x029C = 668

So the result is 668 for a bitwise AND interpretation, or 4729 for standard arithmetic. Which interpretation should I use?
