Operator Imp= (Implication And Assign)
Performs a bitwise-imp (implication) and assigns the result to a variable
Syntax
`
Declare Operator Imp= ( ByRef lhs As T1, ByRef rhs As T2 )
`
Usage
`
lhs Imp= rhs
`
Parameters
`lhs`
The variable to assign to.
`T1`
Any numeric type.
`rhs`
The value to perform a bitwise-imp (implication) with `lhs`.
`T2`
Any numeric type.
Description
This operator performs a bitwise-imp and assigns the result to a variable. It is functionally equivalent to:
`
lhs = lhs Imp rhs
`
`Imp` is a bitwise operator which is the same as (`Not` `lhs`) `Or` `rhs`. `Imp=` compares each bit of its operands, `lhs` and `rhs`, and if the bit in `lhs` is 0 or the bit in `rhs` is 1, then the corresponding bit in the first operand, `lhs`, is set to 1, otherwise it is set to 0.
This operator can be overloaded for user-defined types.
Example
`
Dim As UByte a = &b00110011
Dim As UByte b = &b01010101
a Imp= b
'' Result a = &b11011101
Print Bin(a)
`
Dialect Differences

- In the -lang qb dialect, this operator cannot be overloaded.
