Bitwise Median Finder

Given an array of integers, find the median of the numbers, but instead of directly calculating the median, you must first get the values of each number after performing a bitwise NOT operation on them. Finally, calculate and return the median of the transformed array. Example: Input: 5 1 2 3 4 5 Output: 2 Explanation: The transformed array after bitwise NOT is [-2, -3, -4, -5, -6]. The median of the sorted array [-6, -5, -4, -3, -2] is -4.
