BITCMP BITCMP Bitwise Boolean Complement Operation 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.
