Description

The BITNOT() function performs a bitwise NOT operation on the specified numeric parameter. If <expN> is not an integer, it will be converted to an integer value before the operation takes place.

BITNOT() switches each bit in turn of <expN1>. Each 1 becomes a 0, and each 0 becomes a 1.

<expN> bit	Result bit
0	1
1	0
