Why do you say that? Go to docs.perl6.org. Type "bitwise" into the search box. You will see a popup, "Numeric bitwise AND operator". Click it to be taken to https://docs.perl6.org/language/operators#index-entry-Numeric_bitwise_AND_operator, which will tell you the bitwise AND operator in Perl 6 is +&. Run the same command with +& and you will get the answer 0. If, on the other hand, you go to docs.perl6.org, and type "&" into the search box, you will see under "Infix" (since you used the operator between two things, it is Infix, as the docs say if you type "infix" into the search box and click the first entry under "Reference"; I have no idea how you'd divine that such a thing is called an infix operator aside from common programming parlance, but if you have an idea how that might be expressed it can easily be added to the index) that the first entry is "&". Click on this "&" and you are taken to https://docs.perl6.org/routine/&; which rather clearly says it returns an all Junction. So I wonder why were you under the impression that the above "should give [you] 0000 0000"? Trey
