Bitwise AND: 2&4 = 0 why?

Question

Bitwise AND: 2&4 = 0 why?. If we manually convert 2 and 4 to binary and then multiply them we get answer 8.

Answer 1

Bitwise AND handle bytes to bit level remembering than:

0 AND 0 = 0
0 AND 1 = 0
1 AND 0 = 0
1 AND 1 = 1

Then first transform the numbers into bits and procede with AND operation bit by bit:
2= 010
4= 100
________
000 = 0

Answer 2

You are mixing AND with mutliplication and they are not same.. AND is a boolean operation than apply only to booleans fields (like 1/0, true/false)
It, in practice, return 1/true if and only if either values are 1/true else 0/false.
