Re: Modular (Binary) Exponentiation example

This is not a full (reasonable) explanation, but it is a start. positional notation: decimal: 70506 --> 7*10^4 + 0*10^3 + 5*10^2 + 0*10^1 + 6*10^0 7*10000 + 0*1000 + 8*100 + 0*10 + 6*1 == 70506 binary: 10101 --> 1*2^4 + 0*2^3 + 1*2^2 + 0*2^1 + 1*2^0 16 + 0 + 4 + 0 + 1 == 21 This is the SUM of the va...

Re: runtime error 12; segmentation violation(solved)

You forgot to count the memory occupied by the string descriptor of each array element (about 30 million of elements). Each string descriptor uses 3 integers (24 bytes on 32 bits). I did not know that it required that amount. My thought was that at most it would require only about 4 bytes additiona...

runtime error 12; segmentation violation(solved)

Why does this cause a segmentation fault, since the program allocates the space? The "metafile-xxx.txt" is alphanumeric data. The file has 25 to 30 million lines of data. Each line has 85 to 95 characters terminated with CR & LineFeed it is unsorted raw data. my attempt to read the fil...

Re: Crescent Software products for DOS are now PD.

While a lot of this stuff may not be immediately usable to FreeBASIC users, it's interesting to look through. http://annex.retroarchive.org/crescent/index.html The libraries are usable with QuickBASIC, PDS 7.1, and VBDOS. There's a LOT of x86 assembly in there, which would make porting to FreeBASIC...

Re: FreeBASIC's PRNG #2

Very interesting.
I like the idea of a full 64 bit ulongint, instead of the 53 bit from a double.

And I haven't been able to figure out how to do that using only doubles. The only way I could think of to ...
