Endianness or MSB/LSB difference?

The description urges "little endian" (byte order in longer integer types), but was really talking about arranging bits in a byte. Misnomer? --Ledrug (talk) 18:54, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

It seems so. My bad. Is "with the least significant bit at the end" correct?--Grondilu (talk) 09:55, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, or "most significant bit first". --Ledrug (talk) 17:47, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

Probably needs more restrictions

Rule 30 with fixed '0' ends just goes to '1' in all cells after a while. --Paddy3118 (talk) 06:33, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

Have you tried with many different array sizes?--Grondilu (talk) 09:56, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

100 (as used in Perl),and also 10. I think it may be down to me using fixed '0' boundaries but this is allowed in the Eca task? --Paddy3118 (talk) 14:04, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
