! : Java Glossary

!

Performs a logical negation on booleans. Every true becomes false and false becomes true;

The ! character is created by hitting shift-1. It can be hard to tell apart from Il1| in some fonts.

! true → false

! false → true

For bitwise negation operations on ints use the ~ operator instead.
