Ok ok, heres my idea of what I want to do with this!
I know VB is a bad language and slow for this type of work, but what im traying to do is make a compression tool.
It would be SLOW I know, but if it works, it would be a 1 of its kind, slow compression tool.
As u know, every character has a ascii # to it right?
Lets say A = 32, and B = 33 C = 34
I havea text file I want to zip, ABC is iniside.
3 byte file.
What I was planning on doing is taking the difference of all the characters, just like in the equation and at the end, I was hoping to get only a few numbers needed to solve the equation backwards.
Now imagine, if this actually worked, any file size could be zipped into just a few bytes.
Even though it would be slow,, but its the idea that counts.
Now do you all see what im traying to do?
I need to make a sequence of numbers, that provides the smallest outcome possible, for a small file compression.
I was thinking of using Difference of Numbers to make my ending peace, but I wouldent be able to reverse the equation so far. This is what im tarying to solve.
Good idea?... or not?
ok, so... windows takes 1 minute to search for a file on my PC yet google.com takes 1 second to search the entire internet?
