How the values are stored?

[dinesh Venkatesan]

Hi all,

This is a very basic question. Consider the following code snippet.

int a = 5;
int b = 1;

How the value 5 is stored inside memory. Since int are 32 bit values will it be stored like

0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0101.
if i am correct about this, then while performing an operation like this,
int c = ~b;
will it reult in a value like this?
1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1010.
Please clarify me.
Thanks in advance!
V.dinesh.
