[PDF] Page 128 Rephrasing

Open NiranjanSarade opened this issue 13 years ago • 0 comments

I am not sure whether this is appropriate or not. But here is my thought about this sentence on page 128 -

Whenever the FIXNUM_FLAG is set, Ruby knows this VALUE is really a small integer, an instance of the Fixnum class, and not a pointer to a value structure.

Could it be considered to be rephrased to below sentence for more clarity ?

Whenever the FIXNUM_FLAG is set, Ruby knows this VALUE is really a small integer, an instance of the Fixnum class, and not a pointer to its corresponding C structure.

Thanks !
