Quick simple example of the problem I’m running into. Is there something I’m missing on how to do this? I have more than 2 conditions for my thing and I want a bit array returned based on different arrays.

julia> [1.0, 1.5] .<= 2 && [2.0, 2.5] .<= 3
ERROR: TypeError: non-boolean (BitArray{1}) used in boolean context
Stacktrace:
 [1] top-level scope at REPL[25]:1

You probably want bitwise with broadcasting:

julia> ([1.0,1.5] .<= 2) .& ([2.0,2.5] .<= 3)
2-element BitArray{1}:
 1
 1

The error message says your operands are BitArrays (bitwise arrays), and “boolean context” refers to && which operates on booleans not bits. Bitwise means you should use &, and array means you should broadcast with ..

The error messages can be confusing, but they can often be decoded. If you do ? && or ? & in REPL, the docstrings say boolean and bitwise, respectively.
