BITNOT Function

X = BITNOT(a)

Computes the bitwise complement of an integer.

---

How to read it

• Flips all bits: ones become zeros, zeros become ones.
• Uses two’s-complement semantics on 64-bit integers.

---

Examples

PRINT BITNOT(0)
PRINT BITNOT(&FF)

---

Notes

• Output may appear as a large negative number, due to two’s-complement representation.
