How do you negate a Boolean value:

bool a, b;
a = false;
b = negate(a);

What would the function negate() be?

b = not a;

Why not just declare b as true, or am I missing something?

The point of the question was to figure out how to negate a boolean value. The example was just to illustrate the question.
