Line 51:
: I can remove the "I" from my task implementation when that ceases to be relevant. But you asked for the reason that the task cannot be implemented in a certain fashion and my lack of understanding is the reason. So, for now, "I" stays... Note that I am not using BCD at all here -- the closest I come to that is the initial and final representations of the numbers, but that's ASCII, not BCD.
: Also, analyzing your sequence: the exponents 63, 54, 45, 36, ... each differ by 9, and correspond to 9 * (7, 6, 5, 4). So if 63 corresponds to the -8 value in your sequence, then the exponent of 9*0 corresponds to -1 value in your sequence, and the exponent of
