    I love the consistency in error case return values. -1 for one, 2222 for the other. I guess -1-1-1-1 wouldn't work.

     

    If you use your brain, you'd see the consistency.  There can't be a -1 hex digit value, and it's impossible to have a 2222 in a binary system.  The original designer just used impossible value to determine an error occured that shouldn't have.  No big deal.

    Now *that* is brilliant!

    -ds

    Especially the unorthodox spelling of 'search'.



    I like the unorthodox spelling of 'brillant', too.

    If you are going to be correctly pedantic, then it is best to be correctlyly pedanticly, or something.  They're Hexits, since humans with 16 fingers are rare.


    I find your anthropocentrism irritating.

    The 't' isn't even close to the 'n'...



    On my keyboard, it is.
