   Even if valid, that’s so awful methinks, besides: which operation do you mean? bitwise? logical?

   These are standard in C++. If Visual C++ doesn’t accept them, it’s broken. “and” means &&, while & would be “bitand”.

   You should be able to use the following operators (logical then bitwise)…

   and = &&, &
   or = ||, |
   xor = ^

   …without having to include “iso646.h”. This syntax has always been part of ANSI C right from the outset; it also makes no difference which version of VC++ you are using.

   Just ensure that you start a command-line project, as opposed to a Windows-based project, in VC++. This should include the basic headers for you, and won’t bloat your code.

   Hope this helps.
