- [Invert bits in integers in a stream of tables](#invert-bits-in-integers-in-a-stream-of-tables)

### Invert bits in an integer

```js
import "experimental/bitwise"

bitwise.snot(a: 1234)// Returns -1235


```


### Invert bits in integers in a stream of tables

```js
import "experimental/bitwise"
import "sampledata"

sampledata.int()
    |> map(fn: (r) => ({r with _value: bitwise.snot(a: r._value)}))

```
