It is also not correct to state "an unsigned variable has twice the capacity of a signed variable". The capacity is exactly the same, but it is shifted along the number line. I'll leave it up to you as to how best to correctly express this for your audience. |

Science education makes a point of drilling into students the important difference between accuracy and precision ! |
