| 430071 | 2006-02-15 04:28:00 | It's quite simple ... the numbers are octal. :cool: read = 4, write= 2, execute = 1; add the bits which are on. 4+2+1 --> 7 (rwx) 4+1 --> 5 (r-x). All the best computers use octal. :D (Even the PC intel 86xxx processors are actually octal based. That silly hexadecimal notation is used because 2 7segment displays cost less than three. ) |
