👉 In the context of computer programming, a "backhander" is an operator that performs bitwise AND operations on two operands. This means that it takes two binary strings as inputs and returns a string containing only 0s followed by 1s from the first operand, where each bit in the resulting string corresponds to the result of a bitwise AND operation between the two input bits. For example: ``` >>> backhander("101", "11") "001"
