I found out something interesting in Python. When I input: 99 & 100 Out is 96. What does '&' do with these numbers? Why is the answer '96'? It looks so wierd...
Thank you in advance!

It will make more sense if you print those numbers in Hex. – Mark Ransom Jan 23 '20 at 00:13

It's a bitwise operator. The manipulated unit is the binary representation of the numbers
examples
3 10
5 11 &
------
3 10 =
and
2 01
3 10 &
------
0 00 =
Do the same for 99 & 100, you'll get out 96 in binary
