Remarks

All unary operators, such as the ~ operator, evaluate expressions as follows:

The operator is applied to the resulting number.

The ~ operator looks at the binary representation of the values of the expression and does a bitwise negation operation on it. The result of this operation behaves as follows:

0101   (expression)
----
1010   (result)

Any digit that is a 1 in the expression becomes a 0 in the result. Any digit that is a 0 in the expression becomes a 1 in the result.
