    What is the complement/reverse command?…


    *
    Answer

    In digital electronics, the complement or reverse operation usually means inverting a binary value: each 0 becomes 1, and each 1 becomes 0. This is also called a bitwise NOT operation.
    For example, the complement of 101100 is 010011. In Boolean logic, this is written as NOT A or Ā. The term can mean different things in other contexts, so check the specific device or software documentation if you saw it in a command list.
