Hey Julia, 
I did spell your name wrong in that particular thread but it wasn't
spelled wrong when i group replied (separate thread). I actually just
hit 'g' in mutt to group reply. 
Even when i only reply to outreachy-kernel@googlegroups.com, 
it refuses to go through. I tried sending it lots of times.
Mutt is not showing any errors.

To save some time I'm just going to paste what I've been trying to
respond to this whole time here:

What I meant to say was that the author wrote his own rounding
expression instead of using a built in function that achieved the same
thing. I was trying to be concise but I guess I should have just said
that directly. Do you have a better idea? I can submit a v3
with a better description.

Oh, I did delete two blank lines at the very end of the file, out of
habit and not realizing that would distract from the change.
I could just go back in and add those two blank lines to clear that up.
