Not the output ALU

[dmoeller]

To not the output of the ALU if no==1, can i call not like this:
Not (in=out out=NegOut);

?

You need to use Not16 since you are dealing with 16-bit wide data.

This is another case of an if-then-else structure that you need to write using a Mux16.

I know that.

Mux16(a=out, b=Not(in=out, out=NotOut), sel=no, out=NotOut);

Can I do it like this?

HDL is not a programming language. The parts are not "functions" that return values.

HDL is a description of a wiring diagram. You need to write each part individually and the wires that connect the parts all need to have names.
Your 'no' handling need to be something like

Somepart (..., out=fnOut);
Not (in=fnOut, out=NotFnOut);
Mux16(a=fnOut, b=notFnOut, sel=no, out=out, out=..., out=..., ...);

HDL does not allow connections from outputs named in the OUTPUT line to internal parts. The extra out= connections let you make signals that you need to generate the zr and ng outputs.
