Above code gives -11 as output of printf. var is type of unsigned int, var is assigned with 10, operator ~var converts var to complement of 10. printf %d coverts it to integer while printing it's representation makes it -11 in 32 bit binary representation 10 => 0x0000000A -11 => 0xFFFFFFF5 in C language int is represented as 2's complement. That results in to print -11. var contains after complement in 32 bits as 0xFFFFFFF5 2's complement of above is 0x0000000B it is 11 in decimal representation That's why print with format %d prints -11 in output.
