AND

All must satisfy

And is the basic conjunction for joining words, phrases, or clauses that belong together: bread and butter, come and go, I called and she answered.

It typically signals addition or combination rather than contrast or choice.

In casual speech, and can begin sentences for emphasis or continuation.

In computing and logic, AND is an operator that returns true only when all connected conditions are true.

The ampersand symbol (&) is a shorthand for and.
