- codetrotter 3y agoWhat does it do now? Count increasingly negative numbers?
- koprulusector 3y agoRandom thought: should they be “decreasingly negative numbers,” since technically moving left of 0 is a decrease?
- codetrotter 3y agoPossibly. To me, sign and absolute value are often separate concerns. The series 1, 2, 3, … is increasingly positive. The series -1, -2, -3, … is increasingly negative. But I understand, and accept, that others may think differently about numbers.
- MobiusHorizons 3y agoI think you could probably say either decreasing or increasingly negative, but not decreasingly negative, because that would describe a sequence that starts from a negative number and moves towards zero (but hasn’t gotten there yet)
- noam_k 3y agoI would argue that using the -ly suffix here is wrong: The series 1, 2, 3 is increasing (and) positive. The series -1, -2, -3 is decreasing negative. The series -3, -2, -1 is increasing negative. Edit: formatting
- lmm 3y agoNo. They may be decreasing, but they're not "decreasingly negative", quite the opposite.
- kristopolous 3y agohttp://www.cs.mun.ca/~gstarkes/wmaker/dockapps/time.html#wmy2k http://www.cs.mun.ca/~gstarkes/wmaker/dockapps/time.html#wmy... put in printf("%s\n",temp); around line 52 and you'll see it is indeed negatives. This very much confuses this line copyXPMArea((*p-'0')*7 + 1, 0, 8, 13, k, 2); But hey, with a change of the targettime you can re-release this as wmy2k38 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem)
