Re: Binary math operations (and, or, etc.)



While preparing a talk on binary arithmetic I discovered:

In C,  the programming language

= - 2^2 returns -4

while in AppleScript

= - 2^2 returns +4

Without  worrying about AppleScript's problems previously discussed, why does the C function work at all?

Applescript syntax is like English spelling:
Roughly, but not thoroughly, thought through.
