The NOT bitwise operation takes one set of bits, and for each bit returns 0 if the bit is 1, and 1 if the bit is 0.
When performing NOT on an integer, each bit of the integer is inverted.
If you're unsure why the resulting number is negative in this example, it's because numbers are represented using two's complement. Read up on binary numbers here.
