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! _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
