As far as I can tell, no BASIC dialect I've looked at (DOS and Linux worlds only), has ever had any logical operators like AND (&&), OR (||), and NOT (!). They only appear to have bitwise operators (&,|,~ C equivalent). The fact that comparison operators returned 0 and -1 made the bitwise operators function the same as logical.
Applesoft used 0 and 1, so its NOT definitely wasn't bitwise on the whole number. I can't remember what its AND and OR did for numbers other than 0 or 1 (if I even thought to try it), but since it did all arithmetic in floating point, I suspect they were logical rather than bitwise. -- Greg -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
