BINCMP
The BINCMP function returns the binary complement for all R such that
R(n) = NOT N1(n)
for all n in [0, 15] where N1(n) represents the value of bit n in N1 and
R represents the short integer result of the function. HP Business
BASIC/XL stores a negative number as the two's complement of its absolute
value. The two's complement of a number is its complement or the results
of the BINCMP function, plus one.
Syntax
BINCMP(N1)
Parameters
N1 Binary representation of a numeric expression. This is
a short integer.
Examples
The example below shows the bit layout for the argument, N1. It shows
the bit layout for the result of the BINCOMP function.
Bit Number: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
N1= 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 0
BINCMP(N1)= 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 1
