How can I determine network and broadcast address from the IP address and subnet mask?

Let’s write both in binary:

130.45.34.36 = 10000010.00101101.00100010.00100100

255.255.240.0 = 11111111.11111111.11110000.00000000

A bitwise AND between the two would give us the network address:

10000010.00101101.00100010.00100100   (ip address)
AND
11111111.11111111.11110000.00000000   (subnet mask)
=
10000010.00101101.00100000.00000000 = 130.45.32.0 (the resulting network address)

A bitwise OR between the network address and the inverted subnet mask would give us the broadcast address:

10000010.00101101.00100000.00000000   (netadress)
OR
00000000.00000000.00001111.11111111   (inverted subnet mask)
=
10000010.00101101.00101111.11111111 = 130.45.47.255 (broadcast address)
