Digital Lexicography

Digital Lexicography Created(Circa 1999), in Leeds, Created by Martin Hare the Costing modeller, VBA Programmer/ Excel Modeller :Martin Hare
In 1999 Martin Hare with knowledge of Visual Basic for Applications and Excel produced the "Digital Lexicography" methodology, this has been used for many checking and testing environments.
Digital Lexicography involves the creation of dictionaries within a computer environment. Dictionary creation by the use of loops within VBA has been used since circa 1999 to selected characters from a list and then "loops" each character with every other possible combinatio. The loop continues to add to the size of the dictionary until the loop either fails the criteria has been set.
Digital Lexicography can be used to create short or long dictionaries, short dictionaries must have at least 26 entries and a long dictionary can be infinite in length. Digital dictionaries vary from company to company where they are used they are created for the task at hand and they are hardly ever copied.
