Revision as of 10:44, 19 February 2012

Not is used in True/False statements, and makes an expression opposite to another expression. For example, if condition A equals True, then Not A would equal False. If condition B is False, then Not B would be True.

Usage

not

Examples

Condition1 = True; 

Condition2 = Not Condition1;

Assigns to Condition2 value opposite to Condition1.

Another example would be:

condition1 = 10 > 1;
condition2 = not condition1;

Print("10 > 1 is ",condition1, spaces(5), "Not 10 > 1 is ", condition2);

Returns:

10 > 1 is TRUE     Not 10 > 1 is FALSE

Not can also be used to revert a False condition, as is done in the example below:

condition1 = 10 > 100;
condition2 = not condition1;

Print("10 > 100 is ",condition1, spaces(5), "Not 10 > 100 is ", condition2);

Returns the following:

10 > 100 is FALSE     Not 10 > 100 is TRUE
