BigInteger.OnesComplement Operator
Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
Returns the bitwise one's complement of a BigInteger value.
Namespace: System.Numerics
Assembly: System.Numerics (in System.Numerics.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Shared Operator ~ ( _
value As BigInteger _
) As BigInteger
public static BigInteger operator ~(
BigInteger value
)
Parameters
- value
Type: System.Numerics.BigInteger
An integer value.
Return Value
Type: System.Numerics.BigInteger
The bitwise one's complement of value.
Remarks
The OnesComplement method defines the operation of the bitwise one's complement operator for BigInteger values. The bitwise one's complement operator reverses each bit in a numeric value. That is, bits in value that are 0 are set to 1 in the result, and bits that are 1 are set to 0 in the result. The OnesComplement method enables code such as the following:
Imports System.Numerics
Module Example
Public Sub Demo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock)
Dim value, complement As BigInteger
value = BigInteger.Multiply(BigInteger.One, 9)
complement = Not value
outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("{0,5} -- {1,-32}", value, DisplayInBinary(value)) & vbCrLf
outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("{0,5} -- {1,-32}", complement, DisplayInBinary(complement)) & vbCrLf
outputBlock.Text &= vbCrLf
value = BigInteger.MinusOne * SByte.MaxValue
complement = BigInteger.op_OnesComplement(value)
outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("{0,5} -- {1,-32}", value, DisplayInBinary(value)) & vbCrLf
outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("{0,5} -- {1,-32}", complement, DisplayInBinary(complement)) & vbCrLf
outputBlock.Text &= vbCrLf
End Sub
Private Function DisplayInBinary(ByVal number As BigInteger) As String
Dim bytes() As Byte = number.ToByteArray()
Dim binaryString As String = String.Empty
For Each byteValue As Byte In bytes
Dim byteString As String = Convert.ToString(byteValue, 2).Trim()
binaryString += byteString.Insert(0, New String("0"c, 8 - byteString.Length))
Next
Return binaryString
End Function
End Module

// The example displays the following output:
// 9 -- 00001001
// -10 -- 11110110
//
// -127 -- 10000001
// 126 -- 01111110
Languages that do not support custom operators may be able to call the OnesComplement method directly to perform a bitwise one's complement operation. For example:
Imports System.Numerics
Module Example
Public Sub Demo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock)
Dim value, complement As bigInteger
value = BigInteger.Multiply(BigInteger.One, 9)
complement = BigInteger.op_OnesComplement(value)
outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("{0,5} -- {1,-32}", value, DisplayInBinary(value)) & vbCrLf
outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("{0,5} -- {1,-32}", complement, DisplayInBinary(complement)) & vbCrLf
outputBlock.Text &= vbCrLf
value = BigInteger.MinusOne * SByte.MaxValue
complement = BigInteger.op_OnesComplement(value)
outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("{0,5} -- {1,-32}", value, DisplayInBinary(value)) & vbCrLf
outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("{0,5} -- {1,-32}", complement, DisplayInBinary(complement)) & vbCrLf
outputBlock.Text &= vbCrLf
End Sub
Private Function DisplayInBinary(ByVal number As BigInteger) As String
Dim bytes() As Byte = number.ToByteArray()
Dim binaryString As String = String.Empty
For Each byteValue As Byte In bytes
Dim byteString As String = Convert.ToString(byteValue, 2).Trim()
binaryString += byteString.Insert(0, New String("0"c, 8 - byteString.Length))
Next
Return binaryString
End Function
End Module
