Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Correct PackedInt64Array comparison in description
All Packed classes that have the same paragraph will compare the currently viewed Packed array type with the equivalent typed Array but here the comparison was with the Int32 version instead of the Int64 version

An array specifically designed to hold 64-bit integer values. Packs data tightly, so it saves memory for large array sizes.
[b]Note:[/b] This type stores signed 64-bit integers, which means it can take values in the interval [code][-2^63, 2^63 - 1][/code], i.e. [code][-9223372036854775808, 9223372036854775807][/code]. Exceeding those bounds will wrap around. If you only need to pack 32-bit integers tightly, see [PackedInt32Array] for a more memory-friendly alternative.
- [b]Differences between packed arrays, typed arrays, and untyped arrays:[/b] Packed arrays are generally faster to iterate on and modify compared to a typed array of the same type (e.g. [PackedInt32Array] versus [code]Array[int][/code]). Also, packed arrays consume less memory. As a downside, packed arrays are less flexible as they don't offer as many convenience methods such as [method Array.map]. Typed arrays are in turn faster to iterate on and modify than untyped arrays.
