Trinary; The flawless Base-3 Number system.

[Atrusino]

First of all, hello and thank you for having me. I'm not sure that there is a whole lot I can do to help, but I'm glad to be a member and I'll do what I can!

I spent the last several months creating and refining a functional base-3 numeric system to replace Binary as a computer language. It is flawless and dozens of times more efficient. The question now is: Who do I take it to first? I plan on going to a microchip company before the year is out. Any opinion on who I should do to and why?

Again, thanks for having me. I look forward to working with you all and hope there's at least somethin I can do to help.

Luck and wishes,

Haha what the hell.

[Dinoguy1000]

Hmm....

[Captain]

This is probably not the best place to start your revolution.

[Mr.Mouse]

Please do elaborate a bit more on your replacement of binary.

Please do elaborate a bit more on your replacement of binary.

This was mostly just to say hi, but I wouldn't mind doing so. I got a challenge by the teacher of ym first college class to convert my phone number to Binary. I did it.. He then offered me the next night a new challenge: "Cool! Now do it in Trinary"
Being a lover of math I looked up Trinary so I could make my conversion.. There's no such thing. So I invented it.

What this is: A 3 state switch system that uses 3 places instead of two as in classic binary. With a logic (research I can't afford to do) and some new hardware, it could easily become the most efficient computer language there is. I just stumbled onto a tansistor that will do the job of carrying three states, so I am going to lay out what I have and take it to a microprocessor company and try to get involved in a researcg project to advance what I already have. My invention was the order of number needed to make the 3 state switch work. After months of theory I came up with it and it's been uphill since.

I'm not very good at explaining, but if anyone has any more specific questions, I'd be happy ot answer them. I apologise for the delayed reply. I've been away for the last week.

Luck and wishes,

P.S.

This is probably not the best place to start your revolution.

I'm not trying to start a revolution.

I am intrigued. Given that a highly flexible programming language already exists for your system, you might be sitting on a real winner here.

[Dinoguy1000]

Malbolge, eh? Interesting... Have any of you guys ever messed with brainf**k?

[Captain]

Will it support whitespace?

[Edit: Writing Brainf**k, writing C -- where's the difference?]

[Dinoguy1000]

Erm... what does that say? I've managed to write one thing in brainf**k myself, but I can't read it... at all...

And all that obfuscated C code doesn't help my poor aching head either...

[Atrusino]

Will it support whitespace?

Because of the nature of the new number system: Hardware, Software, Computer Languages, Networking systems and Operating systems will all need to be redesigned. Similar to bumping windows to 64bit only... 100x harder and a bit more expensive.

[Deniz Oezmen]

but I can't read it... at all...

In that case, you will have to execute it.
(There's nothing spectacular to be seen, though ...)

Don't worry, you're not the only one.

[Dinoguy1000]

Aah, that's what it says...

I don't remember what my first program says, but it's on my WP user page.

Tsk, tsk. Your program is way too readable. I've fixed it for you:

(Yes, it is still executable. Spot the pattern. )

By the way: That is probably the largest collection of userboxes I have ever seen.

By the way #2: This thread is probably a good candidate for the new forum ...

(Don't mind me, my brain currently has teh dumb due to learning stuff.)
