NOT the number 18 (10010), yielding 4294967277 (11111111111111111111111111101101, 32 bits in length)
Code
print(bit.bnot(18))
Output 4294967277


Explanation

All bit operations operate in binary numeral system [1]. A NOT operation yields a 1 if its input is 0 and a 0 if its input is 1. This function produces an output by computing the NOT of each bit of its input independently. So, for the example above:

Bit index: 31 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
Input (18): 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0
Output (4294967277): 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 0 1
