| '''~''' a.k.a. '''not''' is usually used in conjunction with an [[If]] [[statement]].
| | #Redirect:[[~]] |
| | |
| Don't use NOT, use ~ because it will work everywhere whereas NOT will only work in If statements
| |

| | |
| 1) The tilde character is "not" in BR: '~'
| |
|
| |
| If ~1 then print "X" else print "Y"
| |
| Y
| |
|
| |
| In my testing, "NOT" only works in an IF statement or a PRINT statement. Whereas "~" works everywhere.
| |
|
| |
| let X=1
| |
| let Y=NOT X ! Gives an error
| |
| let Y=~X ! Sets y to 0
| |
| print NOT Y ! prints 1
| |
| print ~X ! prints 0
| |
|
| |
| 2) Keep in mind that you can use the unary operator "NOT" in many more places then in an IF-THEN statement. So it couldn't be a parameter of the IF statement.
| |
|
| |
| You can do a comparison and assign the results to a boolean variable (in BR thats just a regular numeric variable that you're calling a boolean variable).
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| let A=5
| |
| let B=7
| |
| let TEST = ~(A>B)
| |
| IF TEST THEN PRINT "X" ELSE PRINT "Y"
| |
| X
| |
|
| |
| You can also print the results of a conditional statement:
| |
|
| |
| PRINT NOT (A>B)
| |
| 1
| |
| PRINT ~(A>B)
| |
| 1
| |
|
| |
| So, in my testing I have discovered two important things:
| |
|
| |
| 1) NOT and ~ do the same thing. But NOT works in only IF and PRINT statements whereas "~" works for IF, PRINT, and LET statements, as well as Function Call Parameters, and many more places.
| |
|
| |
| 2) There are lots of different places you can use NOT (~) and all of them are useful.
