Dann eben das gute alte System.out.println() … oder was auch immer das Äquivalent in deiner Sprache ist.

In solchen Fällen singe ich spontan einen Lobgesang auf denjenigen, der den Entkäferer erfunden hat. Ich frage mich, was Programmierer früher gemacht haben, als das Programm ihnen noch nicht selbst erklärt hat, was es tut.

Was there supposed to be a “not” under that yellow blotch in the speech bubble?

I think the homeowners are right regardless. You don’t need to be a genius to figure out that even a moderately higher population density increases transportation demand. Even doubling the density could affect traffic considerably.

Now before the haters come out: I’m not saying that the transportation demand must be addressed by more or bigger roads.

Look at the last table in my original post. It contains 26 columns (A–Z), some of which are not shown, and 27 rows (blank–Z). There are 27 rows and 26 columns, regardless of the contents of the table. If the top-left cell (A, blank) were a 1 and (B, blank) were a 2, then (Z, blank) would contain a 26, and ZZ would contain a 702. Nothing about the layout of that table changes.

To summarize: The table will always be lopsided, if you start counting at 0 or at 1.

You’re absolutely right! Those dumb English people are wrong for not adhering to the German spelling reform. How dare they?

Also the spelling reform only changed the previous ß to a ss. The spelling reform has nothing to do with the c/k debate. What was your point again other than brainless insults?

Like every name in IT in the last 10 years.

“Windows App”

“Rust”

Krass is German.

c not as fun as k.

That’s the worst attempt at Motte-and-bailey I’ve ever seen.

no one cares.

This conversation proves otherwise.

Explanation (which might be wrong, since I’m writing this after banging my head against a wall. Please do correct me if I’m wrong):

In regular numbering systems (i.e., decimal), we exhaust all 10 digits (0–9) before we reach two-digit numbers. The first number to require 3 digits is 10². The first to use 4 is 10³, and so on.

In music intervals, there is no “0”. The interval c’–c’, for instance, is called a prime (1). This has the funny consequence that moving by a fifth and then by a fourth doesn’t land you on the ninth, but the octave (8). Moving by an octave and then another octave gets you to the 15th, not the 16th.

In Excel, shit hits the fan when you need to convert column names (A, B, C…) to numbers (0, 1, 2…). Since we use 26 characters as our ‘digits’, we’re in the hexavigesimal system. Knowing what I told you in the first paragraph, you’d expect the first double-digit column (AA) to be 26. And you’re right.

However, when do we need 3 digits? Which column is column AAA? A sane person would say it’s 26², so 676. Ha! No. Column number 676 is actually ZA. What gives? Well, we only ditch the zero for single digit numbers. All subsequent columns actually use 27 different characters, the ‘empty character’ being one of them. That’s where we get the ‘single digit’ – there actually is a second digit, only it’s empty.

So the column AAA actually has index 702, or 26×27. Which index does the column AAAA have? 26×27². The system of adding powers of the base works, only we changed bases midway through.

You can see the lopsidedness in the index lookup table (I’m not displaying all characters for brevity). Sane number systems have square tables. Excel’s is 26×27 (shown are 4×5).

Meine Gedanken dazu in dieser Reihenfolge:

  1. Oh, da habe ich wohl mal bei meinem Geburstag geschwindelt.
  2. Ha, das ist ja lustig.
  3. Sollte das jetzt mein Vertrauen in die Datensicherheit beim WWF erschüttern oder ist das ein harmloser Fehler, der jedem mal passiert?
  4. Warum wissen die eigentlich mein Geburtsdatum?

Ich bin erstaunt, wie viel Getier tatsächlich um mein Haus herum lebt. Es scheint wohl doch noch ein bisschen Natur zu geben.

Aber warum müssen die Scheißviecher abends bei mir einziehen?
