Good day! I am writing to inform you of a few typos on the Bitwise
Operators (https://wiki.python.org/moin/BitwiseOperators <https://
wiki.python.org/moin/BitwiseOperators>) webpage of the Python wiki. I
don't consider them that important to go through the process of making
and verifying an account as an editor, since I won't be an active user,
but I believe they should be corrected nonetheless, as the webpage is
referenced in the book /Think Python /by Allen Downey.
0) "A two's complement binary is /*THE*/ same as the classical binary
representation for /*POSITIVE*/ integers but is slightly different for
negative numbers."
1) Several instances of "two's complement" or "two's-complement" written
as "twos-complement".
2) "This is the same as //'ing x by 2**y" - // could be rewritten as
"floor division"/"dividing to the nearest lower integer".
Thanks in advance and have a nice rest of the day! :D
Thanks for the note. Usually we'd offer you the opportunity to
volunteer ( :-) ) to fix them, but since you seem to be pre-declining,
I'll take a pass at that page.
