In the exercise at http://www.golang-book.com/3, the hint says 101-1=9 and 102-1=99. What kind of sorcery is this? Is this an error?

Beats me. But isn't the largest 8 digit binary number eight 1's? 11111111 = 255 base 10

You are correct. That is the highest 8 digit.Originally Posted by Arch_Angel
I may have guessed what was meant. I will email the writer to find out soon. It may be that he meant 10^1-1=9 and 10^2-1=99. Makes sense right?
The PDF document has the correct print.
