Skew binary number system non-zero digits, a form called the sparse representations of numbers by Okasaki, incrementation and decrementation can be performed in constant time. Other arithmetic operations are performed by switching between the skew binary representation and the binary representation. Given a skew binary number, its value can be computed by a loop, computing the successive values of formula_4 and adding it once or twice for each formula_5 such that the formula_5th digit is 1 or 2 respectively. A more efficient method is now given, with only bit representation and one substraction. The skew binary number of the form formula_7 without 2 and
Compound File Binary Format Binary Format is a container, with little restriction on what can be stored within it. A CFBF file structure loosely resembles a FAT filesystem. The file is partitioned into "Sectors" which are chained together with a "File Allocation Table" (not to be mistaken with the file system of the same name) which contains chains of sectors related to each file, a "Directory" holds information for contained files with a Sector ID (SID) for the starting sector of a chain and so on. The CFBF file consists of a 512-Byte header record followed by a number of sectors whose size is
