Up to now I didn't know that there is a gap between 9 and 10 (assuming we
are considering only integers of course) and even my daughters learn at
primary school that it is "...8-9-10-..." so where is the counting error?

Yes, the assumption that it is the decimal system is wrong. Think of
hexadecimal values..

then 09 would be followed by 0A

If there isn't a veto this comment is marked for removal  :-)

"veto" (well, don't want to imply that the comment is useful, but
removing it because "10 always follows 9" certainly is wrong)

(I'd rather move those above the constants, not below...)

ciao
Christian
