Why does if else statement always return if code even when failed?

[sbtunx]

The problem is that the "if-else" command doesn't work properly. the program always returns entire "else" commands means all black pixels in end.bmp . but there is some pixels that have the same values "(224 238 223)" in "model1.jpg".
thanks for your help.


Code :

import Image
model1 = Image.open("model1.jpg")
test = Image.open("test.jpg")
im  = Image.new("RGB",(500,500))
 
rr1=224
gg1=238
bb1=223
 
for i in range(500):
 for j in range(500):
 
  rtest,gtest,btest=test.getpixel((i,j))
  r1,g1,b1=model1.getpixel((i,j))
 
  if r1==rr1 & g1==gg1 & b1==bb1:
   realtestr=rtest
   realtestg=gtest
   realtestb=btest
  else:
   realtestr=0
   realtestg=0
   realtestb=0
  im.putpixel((i,j),(realtestr,realtestg,realtestb)),
 
im.save('end.bmp')
im.show()

Don't use the bitwise and operator & - use and. The & operator takes precedence over == and == takes precedence over and.
