Over the years I was frequently amused when someone would ask to borrow/use my calculator for a quick results only to see them stare for way too long looking for the equals button. :-DD --- End quote --- +1 Happens again and again and is always funny to watch |

Even funnier is replacing the built in calculator on a PC with a RPN version. Or set it to octal mode. That one can be really confusing as it seems to work........... |

Speaking of that - try either in normal windows cmd or linux: ping 192.168.0.01 (doesn't matter your network, should be working as expected, either timeout or answer, whatever - and do not forget the extra 0) you can continue with any or all below: ping 192.168.0.02 ping 192.168.0.03 ping 192.168.0.04 ping 192.168.0.05 ping 192.168.0.06 ping 192.168.0.07 Still nothing special, works as expected. and then the surprise comes: ping 192.168.0.08 WTF IS GOING ON! (and the same with 192.168.0.09 for that matter)! |

--- Quote from: mojo-chan on January 05, 2015, 04:25:48 pm ---Obviously the leading zero indicates that the number is octal. Since 8 is not a valid octal digit, the command fails. This is a pretty common trap for young players using the C standard library. Functions like atoi() treat numbers with leading zeros as octal. --- End quote --- Hmm not quite... ANSI Standard C atoi() only supports base 10 ASCII values, strtol() and other some functions support alternate bases such as hexadecimal and octal. |
