Hi,

Pg 78. "... our version of itoa does not handle the largest negative
number, that is, the value of n equal to -(2^(wordsize - 1))".

Do these authors understand what negative numbers are?! Describing
-(2^(wordsize - 1)) as the LARGEST negative number clearly shows they
have no idea!

For the set of integers, as is the case above, the largest negative
number is -1. The negative number being mentioned is the SMALLEST in
the set that can be represented by wordsize.

Geez!
