Problem:
| | On line 6 of page 11 the text states that "For example, the binary number of 00001010 could be worth 10 or it could be worth 80 (64 + 16) if it is the top 8 bits of a 10 bit number (and the least two bits were zero)." This is incorrect.

Solution:
| |
If this bit pattern (00001010) were the least significant 8 bits of a 10 bit number then the result is, of course, ten:
However, if this is the MOST significant 8 bits of a 10 bit number (and the least two bits are zero) then the result is NOT 80 but 40:
In other words, it is 32 plus 8 and not 64 plus 16.
