silly me.
for anyone who is still interested, here is how the ancient arabs used their zero (which was in fact a blank space) for the sake of argument assume we all used base 10.
they would have written 508
5 8 (five hundreds, no tens , eight units)
they would have know it was not 58 or 5008 by the context, but its still a bit dodgy to our eyes.
there are some who claim they put a dot in, for each space
5'8
the Hindus (and possibly others) ,said no, this space is not only confusing, but it is a real number, so they gave it a character and a name. but they were not the first with the concept
As befitting their history, the digits (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9) are also known as Hindu numerals or "Hindu-Arabic numerals". The reason that they are more commonly known as "Arabic numerals" in Europe and the Americas is that they were introduced to Europe in the 10th century by Arabs of North Africa, who were then using the digits from Libya to Morocco. Europeans did not know about the numerals' origins in ancient India, so they named them "Arabic numerals".[4] Arabs, on the other hand, call the system "Hindu numerals",[5][6] referring to their origin in India. This is not to be confused with what the Arabs call the "Hindi numerals", namely the Eastern Arabic numerals (٠.١.٢.٣.٤.٥.٦.٧.٨.٩) used in the Middle East, or any of the numerals currently used in Indian languages (e.g. Devanagari: ०.१.२.३.४.५.६.७.८.९).[7]
In English, the term Arabic numerals can be ambiguous. It most commonly refers to the numeral system widely used in Europe and the Americas. Arabic numerals is the conventional name for the entire family of related systems of Arabic and Indian numerals. It may also be intended to mean the numerals used by Arabs, in which case it generally refers to the Eastern Arabic numerals.

You did two years at University studying a subject that may have used DSPs as part of the course and you say without a shadow of a doubt that you know more about their operation and programming than a man who has been writing DSP software for the past 15 years?

That is all I wanted, you to admit your subjection on the subject to an academic, one that has served his time in an academic institute.
You will never have anything more to offer to life because you are one of life's failures. A grunt, a thick minded thinking want to be who failed at each step. I could walk into any job you have and expect a day rate increase on what you get.Comment
