# Possible-Incorrect-Bitwise-Operator

#### Sourcery rule id: `possible-incorrect-bitwise-operator`

#### Description

Flags possibly incorrect use of bitwise operators `|` and `&`.


#### Match

```javascript
if (x & y) {}
```



#### Explanation

Although bitwise operators are valid in boolean contexts, it's more likely to be a programming error, as it's
easy to mix up `&` with `&&` and `|` with `||`.
