The Not () block is an Operators block and a Boolean block. The block checks if the boolean inside it is false — if it is false, the block returns true; if the condition is true, it returns false.

Example Uses

This block can be used to "reverse" booleans.

Some common uses for the Not () block:

• Making sure a key is not being pressed

forever 
if <not <key [a v] pressed?>> then
go to [Sprite2 v]
end

• Making sure a variable does not equal a certain value

if <not <(lives) = [0]>> then
say [Continue] for (1) secs
else
stop [all v]
end

• Making sure a list does not contain a certain item

if <not <[list v] contains [go]>> then
stop [all v]
end
