x = ~(0xFFFFFFF1)

[Shanel Jacob]

Hi all, can anyone advise me on where I can read up (what topics) for questions such as this? I know "~" changes all 1s to 0s and vice versa but how do you convert 0xFFFFFFF1 into a number that is easy to read? Similary, how do you convert a number like 18 into those alphabet stuff?

Given the last sentence, it appears you are not familiar with hexadecimal. Actually 0xFFFFFFF1 is a number that is pretty easy to read especially when using a bit operator.

You should be able to find many resources to help you understand hexadecimal numbers.

Here is one.
