Bitwise Complement Operator!

[Hanadi Al-Naimi]

What the hell is this bitwise operator??
PLEASE HELP ME ON THIS:

class Bitwise {
public static void main (String[] args)
{
int x=5;
System.out.println(� x is �+x);
x = ~ x;
System.out.println(�~x is �+x);
}
}


The output is :
x is 5
~x is -6
HOW IT COMES LIKE THAT???
