_NEGATE is a boolean logical operator that will change a false statement to a true one and vice-versa.


Syntax

result = _NEGATE value


Description

  • Unlike NOT, which evaluates a value and returns the bitwise opposite, _NEGATE returns the logical opposite. Meaning that _NEGATE non_zero_value = 0.
  • Often called a negative logic operator, it returns the opposite of a value as true or false.

Examples

Example
NOT versus _NEGATE
DECLARE LIBRARY
    FUNCTION isdigit& (BYVAL n AS LONG)
END DECLARE

IF NOT isdigit(ASC("1")) THEN
    PRINT "NOT: 1 is not a digit."
ELSE
    PRINT "NOT: 1 is a digit."
END IF

IF _NEGATE isdigit(ASC("1")) THEN
    PRINT "_NEGATE: 1 is not a digit."
ELSE
    PRINT "_NEGATE: 1 is a digit."
END IF

END

NOT: 1 is not a digit.
_NEGATE: 1 is a digit.

Explanation
 NOT is a bitwise operator that inverts all the bits in an integer,
 whereas _NEGATE is a logical operator that flips the truth value of
 a boolean expression.
