How to type a tilde on a Mac (for the NOT operator in C)
If you have found this post probably you are in dire need of typing a simple tilde ~ on a Mac, for example, because you are writing some code in C ...
And yes, I refer to the f**king "~", the NOT operator in C.
So how to do it?
First of all, keep in mind that the magic combination depends on the keyboard-layout you are using.
If you are not using a PRO layout
(check or change it in System Preferences -> Language & Text -> Input)
the combination is simply:
Alt + N + SPACE = ~
with a PROfessional layout the combination is - usually - different.
For example with the Italian PRO, the combination is
Alt + 5 = ~
Now you can write all the NOT operators you need ;)
NOTE #1
Please note that "~" is not equal to " ˜ " the latter is used to type the fancy spanish latter ñ ;)
NOTE #2
In Windows, use the shurtcut
Alt + Fn + 126
That's all Folk!

So, for example, with a German keyboard-layout the combination is:
Alt + n + SPACE = ~
But with an Italian layout you have:
Fn + Alt + 5 = ~
This means that I have to modify this post!
Thanks for your comment, it opened my eyes!
By the way, which layout are you using?
