Python/Django — what is the difference between the “and” operator and the “&” operator

Question

I have a interesting Django problem.

Consider the following:

Model.objects.filter(Q(id=\'test1\') and Q(id=\'test2\'))

this returns the

Answer 1

according to the following tutorial

& is a Binary AND Operator copies a bit to the result if it exists in both operands.

Example: Assume if a = 60; and b = 13; Now in binary format they will be as follows:

a = 0011 1100

b = 0000 1101

(a & b) will give 12 which is 0000 1100

and Called Logical AND operator. If both the operands are true then then condition becomes true.

Example: (a and b) is true.

So the & was performing binary addition on your query set. Interesting.
