Name: bitNot
Type: operator
Syntax: bitNot <number>
Summary: Performs a "bitwise not" <operation> on the <binary> representation of a number.
Introduced: 1.0
OS: mac,windows,linux,ios,android
Platforms: desktop,server,web,mobile
Example:
bitNot 1 -- evaluates to 0
Example:
bitNot 14 -- in binary: bitNot 1110; evaluates to 0001; converted to 1
Parameters:
number: A number, or an expression that evaluates to a number, between zero and 4,294,967,295 (2^32 - 1).
Description:
Use the <bitNot> <operator> to operate directly on the <bit|bits> of a number.
To perform the <bitNot> <operation>, LiveCode first converts the <operand> to its <binary> equivalent, a string of ones and zeroes. 1 is equivalent to true, and 0 is equivalent to false.
For each bit of the <number>, LiveCode performs a <not> <operation>. A <bit> is 0 if the corresponding <bit> of the <number> is 1, and 1 if the corresponding <bit> of the <number> is 0.
Finally, the binary number thus created is converted back to decimal.
