when I use ~ before any number it gives output as -ve value but why extra -1? Example :
alert(~0) output = -1
alert(~1) output = -2
alert(~3) output = -4
alert(~4) output = -5
alert(~5) output = -6
any one, please share your views.

Because the `~` operator is not the `-` operator. – Bergi Sep 19 '18 at 12:39
