<p>
The intersection operator, <code>/&</code>, is a binary operator that only accepts vectors
as operands, and returns a vector which contains the intersection of the elements of
these two vectors.</p>
<p>
All vectors have an order property. Vectors are either in ascending order, descending
order, or un-ordered. The type is displayed in the
<CODE><a href="../Commands/Show.htm">SHOW</a></CODE>
command. For now, being ordered only has an affect on the vector union,
<CODE>/|</CODE>, and the vector intersection, <CODE>/&</CODE>. These operations are
much faster if the vector operands are ordered. The
<CODE><a href="../Functions/where.htm">WHERE</a></CODE>
function produces an ascending order vector, as does the
<CODE><a href="../Commands/Sort.htm">SORT/UP</a></CODE>
command. The <CODE>SORT/DOWN</CODE> command produces a
descending order vector. This vector property will be utilized more in the future to
enhance speed and efficiency.</P>
<p>
<font size="+1" color="green">Example</font></p>
<p>
To illustrate vector intersection, suppose you have two vectors:</p>
<p>
<CODE>X = [1;2;3;4;5;6;7]</CODE> and <CODE>Y = [-2;-1;0;1;2]</CODE></p>
<p>
Then: <CODE>X/&Y = [1;2]</CODE></p>
