{"comment":{"created_at":"2011-10-24T03:40:51Z","body":"That's a good question, actually. I generally want the representation in terms of bits, not the signed binary form. We should have both really. The real question is what to call them to avoid confusion. Similarly, just showing the bits in a float is not hard since we can just reinterpret as the correctly sized unsigned int. In either case, we should probably default to showing the correct number of digits since that's what the function is really doing.","updated_at":"2011-10-24T03:40:51Z","url":"https://api.github.com/repos/JuliaLang/julia/issues/comments/2499513","id":2499513,"user":{"avatar_url":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/21aeae1f260365557523718bc19640f7?d=https://a248.e.akamai.net/assets.github.com%2Fimages%2Fgravatars%2Fgravatar-140.png","gravatar_id":"21aeae1f260365557523718bc19640f7","url":"https://api.github.com/users/StefanKarpinski","id":153596,"login":"StefanKarpinski"}},"action":"created","issue":{"number":237,"created_at":"2011-10-23T18:14:14Z","pull_request":{"diff_url":null,"patch_url":null,"html_url":null},"body":"Now that we do the decoding in Julia, there's no excuse not to handle negative numbers and floats, etc.","comments":3,"title":"allow passing negative integers to bin, hex, oct","updated_at":"2011-10-24T03:40:51Z","url":"https://api.github.com/repos/JuliaLang/julia/issues/237","id":2027883,"assignee":{"avatar_url":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/21aeae1f260365557523718bc19640f7?d=https://a248.e.akamai.net/assets.github.com%2Fimages%2Fgravatars%2Fgravatar-140.png","gravatar_id":"21aeae1f260365557523718bc19640f7","url":"https://api.github.com/users/StefanKarpinski","id":153596,"login":"StefanKarpinski"},"milestone":{"number":2,"created_at":"2011-04-27T03:46:50Z","due_on":"2011-10-31T07:00:00Z","title":"v1.0","creator":{"avatar_url":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/21aeae1f260365557523718bc19640f7?d=https://a248.e.akamai.net/assets.github.com%2Fimages%2Fgravatars%2Fgravatar-140.png","gravatar_id":"21aeae1f260365557523718bc19640f7","url":"https://api.github.com/users/StefanKarpinski","id":153596,"login":"StefanKarpinski"},"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/JuliaLang/julia/milestones/2","open_issues":12,"closed_issues":100,"description":"Initial Language Release, including all major features deemed necessary for general usability.","state":"open"},"closed_at":null,"user":{"avatar_url":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/21aeae1f260365557523718bc19640f7?d=https://a248.e.akamai.net/assets.github.com%2Fimages%2Fgravatars%2Fgravatar-140.png","gravatar_id":"21aeae1f260365557523718bc19640f7","url":"https://api.github.com/users/StefanKarpinski","id":153596,"login":"StefanKarpinski"},"html_url":"https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/237","labels":[{"name":"enhancements","url":"https://api.github.com/repos/JuliaLang/julia/labels/enhancements","color":"0b02e1"},{"name":"features","url":"https://api.github.com/repos/JuliaLang/julia/labels/features","color":"02e10c"}],"state":"open"},"legacy":{"issue_id":2027883,"comment_id":2499513}}
