To be precise, chr(0) is x00 for ANSI or UTF-8 encoded C-style strings, but it might as well be x00 x00 for UTF-16 (it's not always a single byte). I really enjoyed your post, though. IMHO people starting their programming career with "npm install" miss much of the numerical methods basics (like fl arithmetic), which often leads to misunderstanding of terms and exaggregated expectations ;). cheers Tomasz
