Fair point, except for the fact that each is followed by a full stop (or period if we must), unless those are decimal points in which case I would expect to see at least one numerical digit after each of them. My point therefore remains, and capitals they should be, should they not?I would argue that the numbers 1 and 2 are capitalised.
And I would agree with you. I was loathe to use your latter expression due to the sensitive nature of forum members, many of whom have allegedly led sheltered lives, but in the name of equality and fair play thought it best to add it in brackets.I would argue that as a colonial, full stops are full stops and periods are something else altogether!
Ah yes. Good point Phil.Fair point, except for the fact that each is followed by a full stop (or period if we must), unless those are decimal points in which case I would expect to see at least one numerical digit after each of them.

I didn't get much further than 'programming' (in the loosest possible definition of the term) my ZX80, but I do like your thinking and so does Eb by the look of it.Ah yes. Good point Phil.
Now if we were to enumerate the points in a base bigger than 10, we could have letters after the decimal point. Hexadecimal, so widely used in 16 bit (and upwards) computing environments gives us up to the letter F. So by choosing the right base (I can't be bothered, having established the principle) theyr'e just numbers.
What do you say, all you machine code programmers?
True in one particular respect.Don't think it was much better.
Think I put mine in the skip.
Plenty of fun beforehand though. But couldn't get it to store programmes successfully.
I shall grille you later

The are 10 types of people in the world. Those that understand hex, and those that don’t01001001001010010100101
