BITCMP Bitwise Boolean Complement Operation

Section: Bitwise Operations

Usage

Performs a bitwise binary complement operation on the argument and returns the result. The syntax for its use is
   y = bitcmp(a)

where a is an unsigned integer arrays. This version of the command uses as many bits as required by the type of a. For example, if a is an uint8 type, then the complement is formed using 8 bits. The second form of bitcmp allows you to specify the number of bits to use,

   y = bitcmp(a,n)

in which case the complement is taken with respect to n bits.

Example

Generally, the bitwise complement of a number is known as its ones-complement. Here are some examples. First we take the binary complement using 8 bits.
--> bitcmp(uint8(55))

ans = 

 200 


Then the complement using 16 bits

--> bitcmp(uint16(55))

ans = 

 65480 


Finally, we look for the 4 bit complement

--> bitcmp(3,4)

ans = 

 12
