Well in C for any integer n, bitwise complement of n will be -(n+1). To understand this, you should have the knowledge of 2's complement. It works like this First it converts the given decimal number to its corresponding binary value.That is in case of 0 it converts it to 0000 0000 (to 8 bit binary number). Then it converts it to the ones complement , 1111 1111 that is the 2's complement representation of -1 So -1 == ~0 outputs 1(true) x = 1 - 1
