Give us 94 more. Rolleyes



I could have sworn I wrote it down before: The book by PC Magazine author N.J. Rubenking about power-user programming in Turbo Pascal, which I had during the 1990's, contains an utility example of using the "string" type to compute arithmetic. Problem was that "string" type was able to hold only 255 characters. It was enough to hold 52! which the author wrote out on its wholesome in an earlier chapter of the book. I don't think he used any "in-house ASM" for it. He had written a separate "machine language" version of that utility though.

So bplus would still have to start the engine for the "string math" to get as high as 99!, saying that because I saw the (j-1)! somewhere in the originally-written formula.
