Solution

A. +5

Explanation

The expression ~~~~~~5 evaluates to 5.

In Python, the ~ operator is the bitwise NOT operator, which inverts all the bits of its operand. When applied to an integer n, it computes -(n + 1).

Here's a step-by-step breakdown of the evaluation:

• ~5 evaluates to -(5 + 1), which is -6.
• ~~5 evaluates to ~~5. Since ~5 is -6, applying ~ again: ~-6 evaluates to -(-6 + 1), which is 5.

This pattern continues: each pair of ~ operators cancel each other out. Since there are an even number of ~ operators in ~~~~~~5 (six in total), they all cancel out, leaving the original number, which is 5.
