Ones' complement
<pascal>
function OnesComplement (const aValue:byte):byte; begin result := Not AValue; end;
</pascal> If you call OnesComplement(%10000000) then get %01111111 (%10000000 = 128 and %01111111 = 127). If you call OnesComplement(%00000111) then get 248 (248 = %11111000).
<pascal>
function OnesComplement2 (const aValue:shortint):shortint; begin result := Not AValue; end;
</pascal>
If you call OnesComplement2(%00000010) then get %11111101 (%00000010 = 2 and %11111101 = -3 when type is shortint). If you call OnesComplement2(7) then get -8 (-8 = %11111000 when type is shortint and 7 = %00000111 ).
