If an unsigned int is 2 bytes wide then, What will be the output of the program ?
#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{
    unsigned int m = 32;
    printf("%x\n", ~m);
    return 0;
}
ffff
0000
ffdf

32 16 8 4 2 1

2^5 2^4 2^3 2^2 2^1 2^0

0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1
f f d f

We want 32, So keep 1 at 32 all other 0.
For negation replace 0's with 1's.

I don't understand the above procedure can anyone lease explain me in brief I mean how to write the values of 32 in binary form?

How 32 is 0000 0000 0010 0000 ?

~ act like Not. 32 in binary 0000 0000 0010 0000. Convert to Not So 1111 1111 1101 1111. Answer in hexadecimal ffdf.

Binary representation of 32bit - 0000000000100000.

1's - 1111111111011111.

So ffdf answer.

The output is ffffffdf. in indiabix.com because its runs on 32 bit linux environment. If we run in turbo it will give ffff.

It varies from platform to platform.

Since unsigned 2 byte m = 32 can be represented as:

0000 0000 0010 0000

To do ~m means just complimenting m i.e.

~m = 1111 1111 1101 1111

In Hexa 1111 = f and 1101 = d

Therefore result is ffdf.

Assume each digit from right to left as 2 power i.
Where i =0,1,2...

Now 32 is 0000 0000 0010 0000.

Which mean 0*(2 power 0)+0*(2 power 1)+0*(2 power 2)+0*(2 power 3)+0*(2 power 4)+1*(2 power 5)+0*(2 power 6)+..

m=32
In binary: 0000 0000 0010 0000
~ it called tiled i.e. 1's complement of given no.
Hence ~m : 1111 1111 1101 1111

f f d f

Hence C is answer

32 can be written as 0000 0000 0010 0000 in 2 bytes and complement operator convert this to
1111 1111 1101 1111
