At work today I encountered my first odd java problem..
I believe this problem stems from the fact their system automatically mixes 2 different ascii formats together but I was finally ble to put together the following information.. after querying a bytes array on a substring column I get 8 characters in this very odd format and need help building a method that will EFFICIENTLY convert them back into their 'real' number... so heres my list format.. left side is the byte right side is the real num..
- 81 > 00
- 82 > 01
- 83 > 02
- 83 > 03
- 84 > 04
- 85 > 05
- 86 > 06
- 87 > 07
- 88 > 08
- 89 > 09
- 9a > 10
- 9b > 11
- 9c > 12
- 9d > 13
- 9e > 14
- 9f > 15
- a0 > 16
- etc.. until
- e4 > 99
examples - 81818182 > 00000001 - e4db81e4 > 99900099
The only thing I've thought of so far is building a hashmap and using the byte as the key to look up the real number..
