Master Bitwise NOT (~) in Python + All Bitwise Operator Explained | Bitwise NOT in Python Why ~3==-4

Welcome to My Channel!
In this tutorial, we explore Bitwise Operators in Python with a deep, step-by-step explanation of the NOT (~) operator. We’ll walk through code, binary logic, and real examples so you can see exactly how ~x behaves under the hood.

✅ What You’ll Learn

What bitwise operators are: AND (&), OR (|), XOR (^), left shift, right shift, and especially NOT (~)

How the NOT (~) operator works at the bit level, including two’s complement logic

Step-by-step examples to demonstrate how ~x transforms binary representations

How Python handles negative numbers with bitwise NOT

Use cases, pitfalls, and when NOT is useful in real programming tasks

💡 Why This Topic Is Powerful

Bitwise operations work at the binary level, giving you control over efficient low-level manipulations

The NOT (~) operator is unique and often misunderstood — mastering it makes you stronger in bit manipulations, cryptography, and optimizations

Real code examples help solidify your understanding, not just theory
