Possible Mix Up of Definition Bits and Flags #37

Closed

Just wondering, but it appears that bit and flag should be switched in this opening paragraph in Motivation.

With bits we call them "true" and "false". For flags, you sometimes hear "set" and "cleared".

I have always come across them the other way around, especially with ASM

I've usually heard them the other way, but I reworded it a bit to go either way. Thanks!
