Description
[basic.fundamental] p5
Each value x of an unsigned integer type with width N has a unique representation x = x020 + x121 + ... + xN-12N-1, where each coefficient xi is either 0 or 1; this is called the base-2 representation of x. The base-2 representation of a value of signed integer type is the base-2 representation of the congruent value of the corresponding unsigned integer type.
Change the emphasized part to
For value x, the value of the corresponding signed integer type that is congruent to x modulo 2N has the same base-2 representation as that of
x.
This is easier to read and looks stricter.
