Is there an advantage to omitting scope braces that I'm not seeing? Just seems like leaving extra work for anyone that has to edit the code for the grand purpose of having fewer lines in the IDE

AImazing solution

As someone trying to learn rust, I appreciate the breakdown!

Nice

This is incredibly efficient and smart. Good on you Amelia.

The use of 0xAAAAAAAA is clever because it effectively simulates the process of negabinary conversion through simple bitwise operations. The addition and subtraction of 0xAAAAAAAA, combined with the XOR operation, effectively handle the negabinary's alternating sign in the place value.

Efficient because it leverages the processor's native ability to perform bitwise operations quickly, rather than using loops or recursive calls. Lovely.

Very fun man, good stuff.
