I wonder how they are going to make it easier to understand the Greek alphabet. With LLPSI at least it can be given for granted that the great part of readers will be able to decode the Latin alphabet (and, say, understand what "Roma&q

I don't know if I am too stupid or too smart, but I use signed when some number can be negative and unsigned when it cannot. Of course I am aware of their differences other e.g. when they wrap, and act accordingly.
