What is the bitwise NOT operator in Rust?

Question

Looking at the list of bitwise operators in the Rust Book, I don't see a NOT operator (like ~ in C). Is there no NOT operator in Rust?

Answer 1

The ! operator is implemented for many primitive types and it's equivalent to the ~ operator in C. See this example (playground):

let x = 0b10101010u8; let y = !x; println!("x: {:0>8b}", x); println!("y: {:0>8b}", y); 

Outputs:

x: 10101010 y: 01010101
