So I am running dart on DartPad And I tried running the following code:
import 'dart:math';
void main() {
print(~0);
print(~-1);
print(~~-1);
}
Which resulted in the following outputs
4294967295
0
4294967295
As you can see inverting the bits from 0 results in the max number (I was expecting -1 as dart uses two's complement) and inverting from -1 results in 0, which creates the situation where inverting 2 times -1 does not give me -1.
Looks like it's ignoring the first bit when inverting 0, why is that?
