Why doesn't the "and" condition work in my Python codes?

Each separate statement is true, but why is the combination of the two with "and" false? codes

In python and is a logical AND that returns True if both the operands are true whereas ‘&’ is a bitwise operator. I think you are trying to to something like this.

if (other_list[0] == 0 and rand_vec[0] == 1):
    # Do something

Many thanks to Pw Wolf and all others! Now I understand it.

Original code:

if (other_list[0] == 0 & rand_vec[0] == 1):

    # do something 

Improved code:

if (other_list[0] == 0 and rand_vec[0] == 1):

    # do something
