               Table 4: The logical operations and its results.

       In this table, A and B are the Expressions to invert or combine.
              Both may be results of former Boolean evaluations.

   Note: In most BASIC languages incl. QB64 these are bitwise operations,
         hence the logic is performed for each corresponding bit in both
         operators, where true or false indicates whether a bit is set or
         not set. The outcome of each bit is then placed into the respective
         position to build the bit pattern of the final result value.

   As all Relational Operations return negative one (-1, all bits set) for
    true and zero (0, no bits set) for false, this allows us to use these
    bitwise logical operations to invert or combine any relational checks,
    as the outcome is the same for each bit and so always results into a
            true (-1) or false (0) again for further evaluations.
