Description

The BITNOT() function performs a bitwise NOT operation on the specified numeric parameter. If <expN> is not an integer, it will be converted to an integer value before the operation takes place.

BITNOT() switches each bit in turn of <expN1>. Each 1 becomes a 0, and each 0 becomes a 1.


<expN> bit Result bit
0 1
1 0
