{{Built-in|And|∧}} is a [[dyadic]] [[scalar function|scalar]] [[boolean function]] which tests if both arguments are true: it returns 1 if both are 1 and 0 if one or both are 0. It represents the [[wikipedia:logical conjunction|logical conjunction]] in Boolean logic.
{{Built-in|And|∧}} is a [[dyadic]] [[scalar function|scalar]] [[boolean function]] which tests if both arguments are true: it returns 1 if both are 1 and 0 if one or both are 0. It represents the [[wikipedia:logical conjunction|logical conjunction]] in Boolean logic. In many APLs, And is a special case of the [[LCM]] function.

== Extended definition ==
Many APL implementations extend this function to non-Boolean arguments. In this case, this function behaves as '''[[wikipedia:Least common multiple|Least Common Multiple]]''' or '''LCM'''. For positive integer arguments, it is defined as the smallest positive number which is divisible by both numbers. If one of the arguments is zero, the LCM function returns zero.

While the mathematical definition of LCM does not cover non-integers, some implementations accept them as arguments. In this case, the return value of <source lang=apl inline>R←X∧Y</source> is chosen so that both <source lang=apl inline>R÷X</source> and <source lang=apl inline>R÷Y</source> are integers (or [[wikipedia:Gaussian integer|Gaussian integers]], when X and/or Y are [[complex]] numbers).
