Complement '~'

Syntax

Assignment Variable = ~Variable

Overview

The Complement operator inverts the bits of a 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".

Parameter

Variable can be a constant, variable or expression. Assignment Variable can be any valid variable type.

Example

Device = 18F26K40             ' Select the device to compile for
Declare Xtal = 16  ' Tell the compiler the device will be operating at 16MHz
Declare Hserial_Baud = 9600   ' Set the Baud rate for HRsoutLn

Dim Wordout as Word
Dim Wordin as Word

Wordin = 0b1111000011110000
Wordout = ~Wordin              ' Complement the value held in Wordin
HRsoutLn Bin16 Wordout         ' Display the result on a serial terminal

Note.

Complementing can be carried out with all variable types except Floats. Attempting to complement a floating point variable will produce a syntax error.
