Bitwise Operation in python

c = 5
print("After Bitwise NOT operation",~c)
Output:-

After bitwise or operation 5

After bitwise or operation 5

After bitwise and operation 4

After bitwise and operation 4

After bitwise xor operation 1

After left shift operation, shifting by one bit 10

After right shift operation,shifting by one bit 2
After Bitwise NOT operation -6
