A Common-Sense Guide to Data Structures and Algorithms, Second Edition: suggestion about a phrase in page 42
Hi, in page 42, before the line with the result of log of 64 in base 2, there is a line that reads as:
“Because we had to multiply 2 by itself six times to get 64, therefore:”
I’d like to make a small suggestion for changing this line to:
“Because we had to multiply 2 by itself six times to get 64, we have, therefore:”
I’m not completely sure if this should go to the errata category, so I am posting it as a suggestion.
First Post!
