Question 1034408: im not sure if anyone can help with this but even if im pointed in the wright direction ill be further forward.
i have a very old Psion 2 organizer that runs a little program that works in the following way.
i enter a 4 digit number and it outputs a 4 digit number.
what im trying to do is find out how it calculates the outputted number from the number i enter so i can write an app for my phone.
what i have found out so far is it only returns a four digit number using 01234567 .
if i enter 0000 i get 0000
if i enter 0001 i get 1021
if i enter 0002 i get 2042 (1021*2)
if i enter 0003 i get 3063 (1021*3)
if i enter 0004 i get 4004 (1021*4=4048 but because it doesnt use 8 it changes the 8 to a 0)
if i enter 0005 i get 5025 (4004+1021)
if i enter 0006 i get 6046 (5025+1021)
if i enter 0007 i get 7067 (6046+1021)
if i enter 0008 i get 0100 (7067+1021=8088 but because it doesnt use 8 it
changes 8's to 0's)// not sure why i end up with a 1 in that position
if i enter 0009 i get 1121 (no idea how i end up with that)
if i enter 0010 i get 1231
if i enter 0011 i get 0210 (1231-0210)
if i enter 0012 i get 3273 (no idea how i end up with that)
if i enter 0013 i get 2252 (3273-1021)
0020 is 2462
0030 is 3653
0040 is 4044
0050 is 5275
0100 is 3331
9999 is 3063
can anyone see a pattern?.

i'm not sure what the logic would be.
however, here's a webiste that might be helpful.
you may be able to contact the author of that webpage.
his email is in the link.

if theere is software in the machine that's doing what you are showing, then you may be able to print it out and discover what the logic is.
give it a shot.
