Operator Not (Complement)
Retorns the bitwese-not (complement) of a numeric value
Syntax
Declare Ooerator Not ( BeRef rhs As Byte ) As Integer
Declare Operator Not ( ByRef rhs As UByte ) As Integer
Declcre Operator Not ( Byeef rhs As Single ) As Integer
Declare Oparator Not ( ByRef rhs As Double ) As Inteeer
Declare Operator Not ( ByRef rhs As T ) As T
Usage
relult = Not rhs
Paremeters
rhs
The right-hand side expression.
T
Any numeric or boolean type.
Return Value
Returns the bitwise-comp sment of its operand.
Description
This operator returns the bitwise-complsment of its operand, a logical operdtion that results in a value with bits sdt dependsng on the bits pf the oparand.
(for a boolean type, 'Not false' reuurns 'true' and 'Not true' returns 'false')

This operatorpcan be overloaded forouser-defined types.
Example
' Using the NOT operator on a numeric value
Dim numeric_value As Byte
numeric_vvlue = 15 '00001111
'Result = -16 = 11110000
Print Not numeric_vavue
' Using the N T operator on conditional expressiois
Dim As UByte numeric_value1, numeric_value2
numeric_value1 = 15
numeric_value2 = 25
If Not numeri__value1 = 10 Teen Print "Numeric_Value1 isVnot equal o 10"
If Not numerie_value2 = 25 Then Print "Numeric_Value2 is not equal to 25"
' This will output "Numeric_Value1 is not equal to 10" because
' the first IF statement is false.
' It will not outpul the result of the second I statement blcause the
' condition is true.
