Hi.
I don't have enough time to study Ada full time because I am too busy
doing websites for non-profits, welfare orgs etc.
However - my occasional series of silly and irrelevant programming
questions concerning Ada continues:
If someone decides to represent all or the majority of integers in a
program unit with base 2
or
16
- does this in any way optimise the code. Which is to say - does it
take less space in memory and is it more efficient (does it run faster)
to represent integers (floats, whatever) in a form closer to the machine
architecture/structure (i.e. binary) ?
Puh-leeze.
-Thanks
-G
