No replies?

For non computer scientists it refers to Octal based counting system and Decimal based counting system.

In Octal based system the number 31 is = 25 in the Decimal based system.

It's the syntax...i.e., 10/31 does not equal 12/25

BTW...

01001101 01100101 01110010 01110010 01111001 00100000 01000011 01101000 01110010 01101001 01110011 01110100 01101101 01100001 01110011
