Solution

The output of the given code snippet is 0.

Here's the step-by-step explanation:

The code is performing a bitwise AND operation on the integers x and y.

In binary, 8 is represented as 1000 and 4 is represented as 0100.

When you perform a bitwise AND operation, it compares each binary digit of the first operand to the corresponding binary digit of the second operand. If both digits are 1, the digit in the resulting binary representation is 1, otherwise, the digit is 0.

So, for 1000 (8 in binary) and 0100 (4 in binary):

1 & 0 = 0 0 & 1 = 0 0 & 0 = 0 0 & 0 = 0

So, the result of 8 & 4 is 0000, which is 0 in decimal.

So, the correct answer is b. 0.
