Solution

The output of the given code snippet will be -64208.

Here's the step by step explanation:

  1. The variable 'a' is assigned a hexadecimal value 0xFace. In decimal, this value is 64206.

  2. The tilde (~) operator is a unary operator in Python that does bit flipping. Bits that are 0 become 1, and the bits that are 1 become 0.

  3. The binary representation of 64206 is 1111101011001110. After applying the tilde operator, we get 0000010100110001, which is the binary representation of -64207.

  4. However, in Python, the tilde operator returns the negative of the number (n) subtracted by 1. So, the result of ~a is -(a+1). Therefore, ~64206 is -(64206+1) = -64207.

  5. But in Python, the negative number representation is a two's complement representation. So, the actual output will be -64208.

So, the correct answer is -64208.
