suppose i have a variable
int a=512
Now when i apply ~a which means one’s complement in c.How i am getting -513 as the output.
int is minimum 16 bits in size and binary equivalent of 512 is
0000 0010 0000 0000 And now when you do its one’s complement it becomes
1111 1101 1111 1111. Now could someone tell me why the output is -513.
Can I now Hope that guys in this forum understood my question.
Negative numbers are often represented as two’s complement, which is why it is interpreted the way it is.
Assuming
intis 16-bit, you will have the bitpattern1111 1101 1111 1111. Since the top-most bit is set, the number is negative. To convert to decimal, according to the rules for two’s complement, the number is first bitwise-inverted. This brings back your 512. Then one is added, which gives 513. And since the number was negative, we get -513.
