Nice catch! :-)
For anyone else wondering about this glitch: Before:
After:
 IMO our printing protocol on Number should have a padded argument similar to the (post-comma) decimal places.
Apart from that, I would have expected '-02' instead of '- 02'. :-)
Best,
Christoph

Ah, now I see. :-) But this would not really match the actual object layout of integers in Squeak which can have arbitrary sizes ...
In my opinion, we should just leave it as is (just maybe without the space), I don't really like such artificial limitations. :-)

Why do you think so? The object layout of Squeak Integer is not something like "list of decimal digits". The decimal representation is just one of many equivalent representations. On the other hand, any complement semantic adds a completely new concept
because it neglects the infinite size of integers.
Best,
Christoph

So, the binary representation does not make sense, right? And neither does the HEX or OCT. :-)

> The decimal representation is just one of many equivalent representations. The problem being that the basic (machine) representation is not clear. I think its 2's complement. HEX and OCT -- I suppose -- are very close to the machine representation. That's not an issue for positive numbers. :-) Best, Marcel

Hi all, Virtual Machine implementation is a detail. SmallInteger are two complement, while LargeNegativeInteger are sign magnitude (with sign encoded in the class). From bit perspective (bitAnd: bitOr: bitAt: etc...), all Integer behave as two complement with an infinite sequence of 1 for negative, and infinite sequence of 0 for positive. We could express this in inspectors with a bits field and a leading ... 00000000 or ... 11111111 digit (yes digits are 1 byte long currently).
