Does this mean that if I fill up a sequence with say 1.000 atoms containing only zeros and ones (each atom holding the value 0 OR the value 1), then the sequence will take up only about 125 bytes ? I mean, THAT would be (or perhaps it _IS_) great! The reason why I ask is that I somehow got the impression that each atom required a minimum of 4 bytes, which sounds like a terrible waste... What's right and what's wrong? BTW, Has anyone created a neural network in euphoria yet? I'm attempting to make one myself, but I'm a lousy programmer, I have no experience with NN, and I'm sort of low on IQ. I still want to try, however, because I firmly believe that even people with a 2-digit IQ should be able to work wonders in this programming language... And while I'm at it, can anyone tell me specifically what the term 'structure' means ? Example; is it related to code or data? Please convert your answear to my 2-digit IQ formatThanks to all of you for contributing to this nice list. Tor Bernhard Gausen
