  *   Bit by bit method using integer arithmetic. (Slow, but portable)
  *   1. Normalization
  *	Scale x to y in [1,4) with even powers of 2:
- *	find an integer k such that  1 <= (y=x*2^(2k)) < 4, then
+ *	find an integer k such that  1 <= (y=x*2^(-2k)) < 4, then
  *		sqrt(x) = 2^k * sqrt(y)
  *   2. Bit by bit computation
  *	Let q  = sqrt(y) truncated to i bit after binary point (q = 1),
