! — Logical NOT operator.

## Description

Arithmetic operators perform operations of change-sign (negate), don't-change-sign, logical AND logical OR, add, subtract, multiply and divide. Note that a value or an expression may fall between two of these operators, either of which could take it as its left or right argument, as in

a + b * c.

In such cases three rules apply:

1. * and / bind to their neighbors more strongly than + and −. Thus the above expression is taken as

a + (b * c)

with * taking b and c and then + taking a and b * c.

2. + and − bind more strongly than &&, which in turn is stronger than ||:

a && b - c || d

is taken as

(a && (b - c)) || d

3. When both operators bind equally strongly, the operations are done left to right:

a - b - c

is taken as

(a - b) - c

Parentheses may be used as above to force particular groupings.

## Syntax

    ! a  (logical NOT; not audio-rate)

where the argument a may be further expressions.

## Examples

Here is an example of the Logical NOT operator. It uses the file opnot.csd.

Example 35. Example of the opnot opcode.

See the sections Real-time Audio and Command Line Flags for more information on using command line flags.

Its output should include lines like these:

     i1     1.00000
     i1     2.00000
     i1     1.00000
     i1     2.00000
     i1     1.00000
     i1     2.00000
     i1     1.00000
    .....
