Each of the 26 chars of the alphabet and the 10 digit decimal numbers has an equal character value.Here it is.For the 26 alphabets. A = 9 L = k W = eP B = o M = v X = 1 C = 3 N = h Y = x D = u O = g Z = z E = y P = f F = t Q = d G = r R = s H = 6 S = a I = w T = m J = q U = 8 K = A V = bfor the 10 digits 1 = p 6 = -x 2 = tx 7 = F 3 = W 8 = T 4 = V 9 = 7b 5 = X 0 = oGYour name must be greater than 6, therefore your serial is also greaterthan 6.Other char not mention above is ignored.Your name is converted to uppercase first.At this location 43fb39 where handle get process.Let's find the serial no for handle Pirate Copy.From the table above... P = f I = w R = s A = 9 T = m E = y C = 3 O = g P = f Y = xIf there's a space in between the character, the equivalent char preceeding the space gets deleted, therefore y is remove.So that our final Serial no for handle Pirate Copy is fws9m3gfx.Now, if i entered a name which has a space in between each of the character like in P I R A T E C O P Y it generates only a single serial which is x - the equivalent of the last character in our handle. Which is also invalid.Since the program is requiring us to enter more than 6 in our serial.thanks,Kind Regards,LenraV
