Instructions

For Boolean expressions, the table that follows shows how to calculate the result.

For numeric expressions, the result of the operator NOT is the opposite value of each bit. See the table that follows.

Note: The logical and bitwise operators have lower precedence than the arithmetic and relational operators. Thus, we recommend that you put parentheses around bitwise operations to make sure they give correct results.

Examples

Var pattern As UInt8 = %B11110000
Var inverse = Not pattern
