~0=-1 how ?
and how -1=11111111?
plz explain
Bit manipulation
A negative number can be represented in 2’s complement form. So to represent we take 1 in binary form in 8 bit system - 00000001. In order to convert a number to 2’s complement we first complement all it’s bit then add 1 to lsb. So 1’s complement of it is -> 11111110. Adding 1 to lsb we get 11111111.
Also 0 in bit is represented as 00000000. ~ sign signifies complement , so complementing each bit of 0 we get, 11111111 which we found out to be -1. Hence ~0 = -1.
Hope it Helps.
