Hey,
since all numbers are bits, for example a int is 32 bits, can't we use a
math function to convert from bigger numbers to small numbers?
for example
int a= 0xaabbccdd
f(a) = 0xff
we could only store 0xff
and for obtaining the a again, just use the inverse function...the
function has to be bijective though
f-a(0xff) = 0xaabbccdd
thanks
later
