last-digit test, L1D/LDT?

Open kno10 opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

A test using only the last digit may be useful if only few digits are presented, and the second last may be skewed.

I only saw a last-two digits test.

Sorry for the delay in replying. Hum... interesting... well, the implementation followed the tests that were known and researched, but htat might be a nice idea.
