$not returns the binary NOT of a number

Synopsis[edit]

$not(<N>)

Parameters[edit]

• N - the number, in base10/decimal

Properties[edit]

None

Example[edit]

$not returns the binary NOT of <N>. It returns 0 if the bit is 1, and returns 1 if the bit is 0. In effect, every 1-bit in the result toggles the 0/1 state of the corresponding bit of the input number

//var %n 5 | echo -a $not(%n) $base($not(%n),10,16)
; 4294967290 FFFFFFFA

Here's how the answer was calculated:

1. Convert base-10 N to binary. If N is negative, treat as if a signed 32-bit number where the leftmost bit is a 1.
2. Flip each 0-bit to 1, and each 1-bit to 0
3. Convert the answer from binary to base 10.

//var %n 5 | echo -a $base(%n,10,2,32) | echo -a $str(-,32) | echo -a $base($not(%n),10,2,32) 
; returns:
00000000000000000000000000000101
--------------------------------
11111111111111111111111111111010

//var %n1 4294967290 | var %n2 -6 | echo -a %n1 is the signed representation of %n2 so $not(%n1) is the same as $not(%n2)
; returns: 4294967290 is the signed representation of -6 so 5 is the same as 5

; mIRC doesn't have the $neg function, but if it did, $not(N) would be $neg(N) less 1.
//var %n 5 | echo -a $not(%n) is the same as $calc( -%n -1) so NOT of each is the same: $not($not(%n)) is the same as $not($calc( -%n -1))
