Using ! in a function call in C

Can someone help me with an explanation of how to understand the ! operator in function calls in C?
For example, bool misspelled = !check(word);
The check() function in this case is supposed to return a bool. So does the ! here mean that misspelled will be assigned the opposite value of whatever check() returns?

I haven’t tried using it yet. I’m still a beginner, learning the meaning and usage of C.

>Solution :

The result of the logical negation operator ! is:
0 if the value of its operand compares unequal to 0,
1 if the value of its operand compares equal to 0.
The result has type int.
The expression !E is equivalent to (0==E).
