Sorry, I don't agree with you. > 111 * 11 = 1221 (octal) > 111 * 11 = 1221 (decimal) = 2305 (octal) > 111 * 11 = 1221 (hex) = 4641 (decimal) = 11041 (octal) 111 in decimal, octal, hexadecimal, binary doesn't mean same thing. That's why I said in my previous message you have to know which numeration base you are using. 10(hex), 16(decimal), 200(octal), 10000(binary) are all the same quantity. When you have 16(decimal) items on your table, you can say you have 10(hex) items or 10000(binary) items. All are the same number. Whatever numeration base you select, your calculation give the same result. By same result I mean the same value, not the same literal that represent the value. The literal depends on the numeration base, the value is an intrisinc property. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Author of ICS (Internet Component Suite, freeware) Author of MidWare (Multi-tier framework, freeware) http://www.overbyte.be __________________________________________________ Delphi-Talk mailing list -> [email protected] http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi-talk
