This sentence doesn’t make sense

How would you write down Negative 3 in binary, if you couldn’t use the negative sign?

and this isn’t even about computer science or different types
it was defined we were using the common system of math

Negative 3

Oh wait in binary

That is not binary, not even close to it.

And furthermore, the memory to literally store the word “Negative” anytime you wanted to negate a number would be horrendously inefficient.

We are not using binary, this has nothing to do with the fact at hand

what are you clowns on about

-6.66, or any other negative number, is not an interger between 1-20

I was using computer science to show that there is a more general application to using this, in our specific case it can be used to show that -666 is indeed between 0 and 21

Using the common math system which we were using

150 posts and no new signups FOL moment

we’re not using that math type, as explained before

Your math is boring. Live a little

If you don’t want to play a teensy, it would be great if you joined the game.
