    What's supposed to happen after version 5.5.5.5? :confused: Rename the product?

        LOL! This one takes the cake! Do the math! Do you realize the number of versions you would be compiling? By that time I hope the product is obsolete.

              Uhm, .... let's see. Five times five, that's twenty five. Five times twenty five, well that's just five times five again which is a five and a carry of two. Then you have five times two which is ten, but you have to add the carry of two which is twelve, so that's one hundred and twenty five. Oh man this is starting to get serious. How big is this number going to get. Five times one hundred and twenty five is five times five again that's twenty five which is really just a five with a carry of two. Then there's that five times two again which is ten and the carry of two which is twelve, but that's just a two and a carry of one and finally there's five times one which is five but you have to add that carry of one again to make it a six. There you have it, six hundred and twenty five versions. :cool: You're well on your way. :)

                I understand Math for some people is very difficult. If you started at 1.1, using a Depth of 3 and started incrementing by 1 it would look like... 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.3, 1.2.1, 1.2.2, 1.2.3... So 625 versions is right on according to your math. Sorry but using a depth of 5 would be quite a bit higher than 625. You are correct though I have gotten what I expected out of this forum... smart a$$ comments and nothing really substantive.

                    you're making things hard on yourself. Five simply is 10 in base 5. So the fourth power of that is 10000. That's all. No carries involved. However, it is not the available number of versions, as the early versions would have fewer digits; so the better approximation would be 11110 in base 5. Note that I left out one, as I assume the very first version will have one digit, not zero digits. Unless you forget about version numbers until you actually need them. It is too bad we never got an actual question about this very interesting subject... :)

                      You're right. I leave the numbering to my version control provider. Though I understand that someone has to write and maintain the code that implements some numbering scheme. The OP used the word 'depth' and you are inferring that as 'base 5'. And that may well be the intended assumption, but obviously along with a clear and concise question, there was much more lacking from the post. My use of simple arithmetic was a poor attempt to sarcasticly point that out to him. :)

                        Try rereading your original post. Do you see anything substantive there? Do you see a question?

                        It's time for a new signature.
