"Welcome to the KiXtart Coding Coven, wipe your feet and leave your sacrificial dagger by the door."

The problem is that KiXtart 4.00 already has a "NOT", which is a logical operator, i.e. it works like C "!". As KiXtart supports "|" for bitwise OR, and "&" for bitwise AND which also match the C convention it seemed sensible to continue that way with the bitwise NOT.

How does VB handle logical NOTs? You can't tell from the context if you want a logical or bitwise operation.

Here is a very simple "C" program that demonstrates the difference:

code:

---

#include 
main(){
	unsigned char c=170;
	printf("%d Logical NOT = %d, converted back=%d\n",c,!c,!(!c));
	printf("%d Bitwise NOT = %d, converted back=%d\n",c,~c,~(~c));
}

---

code:

---

170 Logical NOT = 0, converted back=1
170 Bitwise NOT = -171, converted back=170

---

Now, if the code read "NOT c", how would you know which NOT was required?
