45 * The operation of this program mimics that of the standard Unix game
46 * `arithmetic'. I've made it as close as I could manage without examining
47 * the source code. The principal differences are:
49 * The method of biasing towards numbers that had wrong answers in the past
50 * is different; original `arithmetic' seems to retain the bias forever,
51 * whereas this program lets the bias gradually decay as it is used.
53 * Original `arithmetic' delays for some period (3 seconds?) after printing
54 * the score. I saw no reason for this delay, so I scrapped it.
56 * There is no longer a limitation on the maximum range that can be supplied
57 * to the program. The original program required it to be less than 100.
58 * Anomalous results may occur with this program if ranges big enough to
59 * allow overflow are given.
61 * I have obviously not attempted to duplicate bugs in the original. It
62 * would go into an infinite loop if invoked as `arithmetic / 0'. It also
63 * did not recognise an EOF in its input, and would continue trying to read
64 * after it. It did not check that the input was a valid number, treating any
65 * garbage as 0. Finally, it did not flush stdout after printing its prompt,
66 * so in the unlikely event that stdout was not a terminal, it would not work
