Why not just print it out and see for yourself? – BartoszKP May 19 '18 at 07:16

Just use the bitwise complement operator ~ like
int complement = ~ -4;
it inverts every bit, that is, a 0 bit turns into 1, and 1 in a 0.
Here the Tutorial and the Specification
If the question is about negative numbers and so, that is, why the result of ~ -4 is 3, try this Entry (summary: negative numbers are represented by two's complement of the positive one, not just the plain complement {one's complement})
