Five operand combinations exist with the binary (non-prefix) operators. Each of these combinations is interpreted differently:

• If both operands are single nodes or the constants GND or VCC, the operator performs the logical operation on the two elements.  Example

• If both operands are groups of nodes, the operator acts upon the corresponding nodes of each group, producing a bitwise set of operations between the groups. The groups must be the same size.  Example

• If one operand is a single node, GND, or VCC, and the other operand is a group of nodes, the single node or constant is duplicated to form a group of the same size as the other operand. The expression is then treated as a group operation.  Example

• If both operands are numbers, the shorter number is sign-extended to match the size of the other number. The expression is then treated as a group operation.  Example

• If one operand is a number and the other is a node or group of nodes, the number is truncated or sign-extended to match the size of the group. If any significant bits are truncated, an error message is generated. The expression is then treated as a group operation.  Example

An expression that uses VCC as an operand is interpreted differently from an expression that uses 1 as an operand.  Example
