Operator Imp= (Implication And Assign)

Declare Operator Imp= ( ByRef lhs As T1, ByRef rhs As T2 )

lhs Imp= rhs

lhs
T1
rhs
T2

This operator performs a bitwise-imp and assigns the result to a variable (for conversion of a boolean to an integer, false or true boolean value becomes 0 or -1 integer value). 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.

Dim As UByte a = &b00110011
Dim As UByte b = &b01010101
a Imp= b
'' Result    a = &b11011101
Print Bin(a)

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