Line 43: A1-A5 Results A1, A2, A3, A4, A5 :Yes, of course, but there are several conflicting implementations possible. For example, how many elements are in 00A1-00B3? How about in DOG-MUTT? How about in 1e6-2E20? And... so on...--[[User:Rdm\|Rdm]] 14:39, 15 November 2011 (UTC) :And of course, what about ABC-Aef (where upper and lower case letters have different ordering depending upon the underlying hardware [ASCII vs. EBCDIC]).
