To me this is like cursing in French.

Unnerving isn’t it?

 

Merde. But that is not zee mathematiques. That's a chart from the old days of word processers for inserting special characters not found in keyboards. Yeah, I'm so old I've even used punch cards to program a computer. Without naming names some people would blow the chads under people's dorm door with a vacuum on reverse, yes, vacuums had a reverse long ago. You wouldn't be rid of those chads until you moved out.

 

Qu’est que c’est “un chad”?

 

Young whippersnapper. Google it. Look up computer cards while you're at it.

 

It's not 12.42

You have to follow the rules of BODMAS

Brackets, Order, Divide, Multiply, Add, Subtract.

So it's 185.260869565

 

If you're from the days of computers in the 80's and the 90's, you used hexadecimal sometimes to program them. Printing to dot matrix printers often involved ASCII.

 

I remember computer cards and when computers were the size of a house.

 

How do you tell where the brackets are?

 

BODMAS is the order you would undertake. Obviously in the sum above, there's no Brackets and Orders. So do the divide first, then Add and finally the Subtract.

 

I got 1282.74.

 

Don't have to be that old to know what a hanging chad is.

It's a dumb halloween costume.

 

“A Chad, in derogatory slang, is a young urban American man, typically single and in his 20s or early 30s.”

Must have been a powerful vacuum cleaner.

 

It is, lol. Got mine back to front, lol

 

And a very long and thin penis...

 

ASCII is widely used today. Try to convert a varchar datatype to varbinary in SQL and you will see a string of ascii code. Also, sometimes I see a not properly configured printer throw out ASCII table in printing output.
While ASCII is not math per se, if you want to do math with very large numbers and use binary output you have no other choice but convert binary to hexadecimal, do math in hexadecimal and convert the value back to binary. Can’t do very large decimal numbers because the highest value you can store is 2^63.

 

Me too. Fortran.

 

Hope this hasn’t already been posted.

 

Awkward!
