valarray::operator!

A unary operator that obtains the logical NOT values of each element in a valarray.

valarray<bool> operator!( ) const;

Return Value

The valarray of Boolean values that are the negation of the element values of the operand valarray.

Remarks

The logical operation NOT negates the elements because it converts all zeros into ones and regards all nonzero values as ones and converts them into zeros. The returned valarray of Boolean values is of the same size as the operand valarray.

There is also a bitwise NOT valarray::operator~ that negates on the level of individual bits within the binary representation of char and int elements of a valarray.

Example

// valarray_op_lognot.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <valarray>
#include <iostream>

int main( )
{
   using namespace std;
   int i;

   valarray<int> vaL ( 10 );
   valarray<bool> vaNOT ( 10 );
   for ( i = 0 ; i < 10 ; i += 2 )
      vaL [ i ] =  0;
   for ( i = 1 ; i < 10 ; i += 2 )
      vaL [ i ] =  i-1;
   
   cout << "The initial valarray is:  ( ";
      for (i = 0 ; i < 10 ; i++ )
         cout << vaL [ i ] << " ";
   cout << ")." << endl;

   vaNOT = !vaL;
   cout << "The element-by-element result of "
        << "the logical NOT operator! is the\n valarray: ( ";
      for ( i = 0 ; i < 10 ; i++ )
         cout << vaNOT [ i ] << " ";
   cout << ")." << endl;
}
The initial valarray is:  ( 0 0 0 2 0 4 0 6 0 8 ).
The element-by-element result of the logical NOT operator! is the
 valarray: ( 1 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 ).
