$not (aggregation)¶
- $not¶
Evaluates a boolean and returns the opposite boolean value; i.e. when passed an expression that evaluates to true, $not returns false; when passed an expression that evaluates to false, $not returns true.
$not has the following syntax:
{ $not: [ <expression> ] }
For more information on expressions, see Expressions.
Behavior¶
In addition to the false boolean value, $not evaluates as false the following: null, 0, and undefined values. The $not evaluates all other values as true, including non-zero numeric values and arrays.
Example | Result | |
---|---|---|
{ $not: [ true ] } | false | |
{ $not: [ [ false ] ] } | false | |
{ $not: [ false ] } | true | |
{ $not: [ null ] } | true | |
{ $not: [ 0 ] } | true |
Example¶
Consider an inventory collection with the following documents:
{ "_id" : 1, "item" : "abc1", description: "product 1", qty: 300 }
{ "_id" : 2, "item" : "abc2", description: "product 2", qty: 200 }
{ "_id" : 3, "item" : "xyz1", description: "product 3", qty: 250 }
{ "_id" : 4, "item" : "VWZ1", description: "product 4", qty: 300 }
{ "_id" : 5, "item" : "VWZ2", description: "product 5", qty: 180 }
The following operation uses the $or operator to determine if qty is greater than 250 or less than 200:
db.inventory.aggregate(
[
{
$project:
{
item: 1,
result: { $not: [ { $gt: [ "$qty", 250 ] } ] }
}
}
]
)
The operation returns the following results:
{ "_id" : 1, "item" : "abc1", "result" : false }
{ "_id" : 2, "item" : "abc2", "result" : true }
{ "_id" : 3, "item" : "xyz1", "result" : true }
{ "_id" : 4, "item" : "VWZ1", "result" : false }
{ "_id" : 5, "item" : "VWZ2", "result" : true }
