rustBitwise negation (NOT) usage in Rust

Bitwise negation (NOT) is a unary operator in Rust that performs a bitwise inversion of its operand. It is represented by the ! symbol.

For example, the following code block will invert the bits of the number 5:

let x = 5;
let y = !x;
println!("{}", y);

The output of this code will be -6.

Code explanation

• let x = 5;: This line declares a variable x and assigns it the value 5.
• let y = !x;: This line declares a variable y and assigns it the value of the bitwise negation of x.
• println!("{}", y);: This line prints the value of y to the console.
