Complement ‘~’

The Complement operator inverts the bits of an integer value. Each bit that contains a 1 is changed to 0 and each bit containing 0 is changed to 1. This process is also known as a "bitwise not".

Device = 24FJ64GA002           ' Select the device to compile for
Declare Xtal = 16      ' Tell the compiler the device will be operating at 16MHz

Declare Hserial_Baud = 9600    ' USART1 Baud rate
Declare Hrsout1_Pin = PORTB.14 ' Select the pin for TX with USART1

Dim MyWord1 as Word
Dim MyWord2 as Word

PPS_Output(cOut_Pin_RP14, cOut_Fn_U1TX)  ' Make Pin RB14 U1TX

MyWord2 = %1111000011110000
MyWord1 = ~MyWord2              ' Complement MyWord2.
HrsoutLn Bin16 MyWord1         ' Display the result on a serial terminal

Complementing can be carried out with all variable types except Floats. Attempting to complement a floating point variable will produce a syntax error. All bit shifts are unsigned, regardless of the variable type used.
