Hi,

in this document,

"It fixes the multiplacands as a=5,b=6 (101 and 110) and uses a simulated annealing sampler to find the product, p=30 (111100)."

I think this should be . a=5, b=3 (101 and 011) and uses a simulated annealing sampler to find the product, p=15( 001111) ?

because from program a0=1 a1=0 a2=1, b0=1,b1=1,b2=0 and result p0=1,p1=1,p2=1,p3=1,p4=0,p5=0

Hello Ziv,

Thank you for pointing this out!! The formatting of binary inputs and outputs in this example is indeed confusing. I believe you are also correct that the values of a, b, and p should be 3, 5, and 15 respectively.

I have passed the comments on to our documentation team to update this and other examples for readability.
