why does not-query is invalid ？

Question

As my title says, I met some problem when I change the position for not-query, then I found that not-query does not work. It looks like it disappeared. I give an example as below.

cts:element-query(fn:QName("http://www.test/jeremy","doc"), 
    cts:and-query(
    (cts:or-query((cts:and-query(
        (cts:collection-query("xxxx"), 
            cts:or-query((
                cts:directory-query("/xxx/", "1"),
                cts:directory-query("/xxxx/", "1"), 
                cts:directory-query("/xxxxxx/", "1"), 
                cts:directory-query("/xx/x/", "1"),
                cts:directory-query("/xxxxx/", "1")), ()),
            cts:element-range-query(fn:QName("http://www.test/jeremy","apple"), "=", "xxxxxxx",("collation=http://marklogic.com/collation/codepoint"), 1), 
            cts:or-query(cts:element-value-query(fn:QName("http://www.test/jeremy","banana"), "SHANGHAI", ("lang=en"), 0), ())), ()),
            cts:not-query(cts:element-value-query(fn:QName("http://www.test/jeremy","orange"), "123456", ("lang=en"), 0), 0)), ()), 
    cts:not-query(cts:element-attribute-range-query(fn:QName("http://www.test/jeremy","groupid"), fn:QName("","isGood"), "=", "false", ("collation=http://marklogic.com/collation/codepoint"), 1), 0)
    ), 
    ()), 
())

Is there any god would help me with this. I am a new guy for marklogic, so I really need your help.

The thing that is wrong with your cts:not-query() is that you have two parameters being sent to that function. It accepts one.

For instance, this:

cts:not-query(
  cts:element-attribute-range-query(fn:QName("http://www.test/jeremy","groupid"), fn:QName("","isGood"), "=", "false", ("collation=http://marklogic.com/collation/codepoint"), 1),
  0
)

Should just be:

cts:not-query(
  cts:element-attribute-range-query(fn:QName("http://www.test/jeremy","groupid"), fn:QName("","isGood"), "=", "false", ("collation=http://marklogic.com/collation/codepoint"), 1)
)

In the cts:element-attribute-range-query you are sending 1 as the 6th parameter to indicate a weight.

It seems that maybe you were trying to set 0 on your cts:not-query either as a weight, or was just a mistake. Sometimes it is difficult to keep track of all the nested parenthesis, so formatting and/or let variables and combining can help make it easier to read.

If you had multiple queries that you wanted to negate, you would send in a sequence of queries to the cts:not-query(), and in order for it to be one parameter would need to wrap in parenthesis. For example:

cts:not-query( (cts:word-query("foo"), cts:word-query("bar")) )

The not-query is invalid because it is not followed by a valid query. The not-query needs to be followed by a valid query in order for it to be valid.

cts:element-query(fn:QName("http://www.test/jeremy","doc"), 
cts:and-query(
    cts:collection-query("xxxx"), 
    cts:or-query(
        cts:directory-query("/xxx/", "1"),
        cts:directory-query("/xxxx/", "1"), 
        cts:directory-query("/xxxxxx/", "1"), 
        cts:directory-query("/xx/x/", "1"),
        cts:directory-query("/xxxxx/", "1")
    ),
    cts:element-range-query(fn:QName("http://www.test/jeremy","apple"), "=", "xxxxxxx",("collation=http://marklogic.com/collation/codepoint"), 1), 
    cts:element-value-query(fn:QName("http://www.test/jeremy","banana"), "SHANGHAI", ("lang=en"), 0),
    cts:not-query(cts:element-value-query(fn:QName("http://www.test/jeremy","orange"), "123456", ("lang=en"), 0), 0),
    cts:not-query(cts:element-attribute-range-query(fn:QName("http://www.test/jeremy","groupid"), fn:QName("","isGood"), "=", "false", ("collation=http://marklogic.com/collation/codepoint"), 1), 0)
), 
()

So , you mean that if I exchanged the position of cts:not-query(cts:element-value-query(fn:QN ...... and ` cts:element-value-query(fn:QName.....` , it would work right?
