Can anyone explain why the last result in these statements is not the bit-flipped version of arr?



(Debug) In[189]:= arr = {0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0}

(Debug) Out[189]= {0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0}

(Debug) In[190]:= FromDigits[%, 2]

(Debug) Out[190]= 34

(Debug) In[191]:= BitNot[%]

(Debug) Out[191]= -35

(Debug) In[192]:= IntegerDigits[%, 2, 8]

(Debug) Out[192]= {0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1}

    Integers can have arbitrary length, so how many leading zeros should be flipped? The documentation clarifies: "Integers are assumed to be represented in two's complement form, with an unlimited number of digits, so that BitNot[n] is simply equivalent to -1-n."

I don't think there is a built-in function to generate the two's complement representation. Easy to implement though.



twosComplement[x_, n_] := IntegerDigits[2^x - n, 2, n]
twosComplement[35, 8]
(* {1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1} *)

        Without using IntegerDigits[]:



        With[{n = 34}, 
        {n, BitXor[BitShiftLeft[1, BitLength[n]] - 1, n]} // BaseForm[#, 2] &]
