Book code errors: sign reversal
Some codes in the book have Errors. Coding errors within the book have come up before. I don't know if they'll ever be fixed.

Addressed it in what way ?
Has anyone addressed this issue?
It's odd that there's a consistent pattern of sign reversal. It's so specific that it seems intentional,
given that the code is correct in most other respects, carefully commented if poorly explained/translated.
-The errors should be corrected on the next revision ( I haven't kept track of them all, but I believe there are between 5-10 sign reversals)
-In the meantime, problem examples should be flagged
-It's kind of a nice exercise, maybe example code should contain more errors with an answer key
Working through the Book. About halfway through,
the sign usage of >, <, <=, >= seems to reverse. I wasn't sure
so I double checked with the downloadable code, there appear to be
nearly five different instances of sign reversal. Has anyone
addressed this issue?
