# And Gate

### And Gate

The And function returns 1 (true) only when both of the inputs are 1 (true).

### Implementation of And Gate in HDL

And Gate can be implemented in two ways:

* And Gate can be implemented using two Nand Gates - one Nand Gate for both inputs to produce some output, which is connected to either inputs of Another Nand Gate.
* You can observe that the second Nand Gate can be replaced with a Not Gate of single input which is the output of First Nand Gate.

```vhdl
CHIP And {
    IN a, b;
    OUT out;

    PARTS:
    Nand(a=a, b=b, c=notout);
    Not(in=notout, out=out);
}
```

### Implementation of And Gate in Java™

*Similar to the Implementation in HDL*

```java
package CombChips;

class And_Gate extends Not_Gate {

    protected static int And(int a, int b) {
        return Not(Nand(a, b));
    }
}
```
