Change Bit Marker position and make it equal to the bit, rather than array styled markings.
Problem Statement The bit markers for the Bit Flip pane feel off and awkward to read, so instead add the marker under the highest bit.
Evidence or User Insights Me and my peers were discussing this, and we all agreed it was tougher to read when the first bit is marked as the 0 byte.
Proposal I have already created a branch and a pr with a fix if it is agreed upon.
Goals Simply change the position of the markers below and set the highest bit number as 64.
Non-Goals N/A
Low-Fidelity Concept
Requested Assignment
If possible, I would like to implement this.
This is your friendly Microsoft Issue Bot. I've seen this issue come in and have gone to tell a human about it.
Ah, you have touched upon one of the oldest argument in computing: Do you start counting from zero or one?
It is commonly argued that, in the context of binary numbering, it makes more sense that the least significant bit is bit 0 (LSb 0), as it represents 20. I.e. 0b1111 == 2^3 + 2^2 + 2^1 + 2^0.
The proposed labelling in this issue would make it LSb 1 which, though sometimes used, is most definitely not very common in computing.
