What does the tilde symbol after an equals do?

Question

What does the tilde symbol ~ do in Matlab?

for example, I've got the Matlab line, in which a and b are tables.

a =~b;

~ is the operator for logical not – Andreas H. Jan 30 '14 at 14:17 — Andreas H., Jan 30 '14 at 14:17

Basically a is assigned to the result of the logical not operator applied to b

For example if b is the matrix

b = [12 0 10]

then

a = ~b 
a = [0 1 0]

So , is the the same as this?: a = imcomplement(find(b)); – user3115590 Jan 30 '14 at 14:23
@user3115590: no. If this works at all, it would be a = imcomplement(b==0) – Andreas H. Jan 30 '14 at 14:35
