Re: More about Checksum Message #9 Posted by Vincze on 19 Aug 2007, 7:27 p.m., in response to message #8 by Paul Dale
1 is not boring, but it is the loneliest number. ;)
Why would number throw checksum off though? That I not understand. Every didgit and keystroke I would assume have an ascii code in the system, or something similar that it would be assigned. Why would a number on one person machine be different than another persons? I wonder though, if program typed in on one mode, and then typed in on different mode yield different checksum? Meaning, if you type in on one calculator in degree mode, and on different calculator in radian mode, I wonder if that be different. Or maybe with different base, although I not sure it would let you do the later. Hmm, maybe on some calculator, 1 is larger than on others. You know, 1 + 1 = 3 for very large value of 1.
