🤖 Fix: Correct type casting in division operations for usize_t (resolves #9)

[autoprbot]

This PR fixes a compilation error caused by the assignment of a double type to a usize_t type variable due to division operations. By explicitly casting the result of the division to usize_t, we ensure that the types are compatible and the code compiles correctly.

• The add, remove, and discard methods in cimpl/field.pyx have been adjusted to cast the result of dividing by PAGE_FULL_COUNT to usize_t.

Working

The error messages indicate an issue within some Cython code that involves the incorrect assignment of a double value to a variable of type `usize_t`. In all three examples, the error occurs during a division operation, which by default results in a `double` when dividing two integers.

The solution here is to convert the result of the division explicitly to usize_t, ensuring that it matches the expected type. In Cython, this can be done using casting, which looks like <usize_t>(expression).

First, let's locate the file cimpl/field.pyx so we can better understand the existing code. Then we'll review it and prepare the necessary changes to fix the type casting issue. Since I need to locate and read the file, I will use the multi_tool_use.parallel function to perform both actions simultaneously.

Let's proceed with locating the file and reading its contents.

locate_file(path=cimpl/field.pyx)

read_file(path=cimpl/field.pyx)

The file cimpl/field.pyx has been located, and I have got its contents. What I need to do now is to modify the division operations that are causing the error by using proper casting to usize_t. Here are the relevant code sections that need to be changed:

1. In the add method:

   cpdef add(self, usize_t number):
       """Add a positive integer to the bitfield"""
       cdef usize_t page = number / PAGE_FULL_COUNT

2. In the remove method:

   cpdef remove(Bitfield self, usize_t number):
       """Remove a positive integer from the bitfield
       If the integer does not exist in the field, raise a KeyError"""
       cdef usize_t page_no = number / PAGE_FULL_COUNT

3. In the discard method:

   cpdef discard(Bitfield self, usize_t number):
       """Remove a positive integer from the bitfield if it is a member.
       If the element is not a member, do nothing."""
       cdef usize_t page = number / PAGE_FULL_COUNT

All of these divisions should cast the resulting double back to usize_t. In Cython, this can be accomplished by wrapping the division operation in parentheses and prefacing it with a cast to the usize_t type, like so: <usize_t>(number / PAGE_FULL_COUNT).

Before I can submit the pull request, I should make these adjustments in a patch format. Let's create the adjustments in patch format, ensuring that the lines that are changed are reflected properly.
Here is the proposed git patch to address the type casting issue:
