Cf.       {Sal}, {Salad}, {Salary}, {Saline}, {Sauce}, {Sausage}.]       1. The chloride of sodium, a substance used for seasoning             food, for the preservation of meat, etc. It is found             native in the earth, and is also produced, by evaporation             and crystallization, from sea water and other water             impregnated with saline particles.          2. Hence, flavor; taste; savor; smack; seasoning.                         Though we are justices and doctors and churchmen . .                      . we have some salt of our youth in us. --Shak.          3.

The neutral compound formed by the union of an             acid and a base; thus, sulphuric acid and iron form the             salt sulphate of iron or green vitriol.          Note: Except in case of ammonium salts, accurately speaking,                it is the acid radical which unites with the base or                basic radical, with the elimination of hydrogen, of                water, or of analogous compounds as side products. In                the case of diacid and triacid bases, and of dibasic                and tribasic acids, the mutual neutralization may vary                in degree, producing respectively basic, neutral, or                acid salts.

binary coded decimal          (BCD, packed decimal) A number representation where a       number is expressed as a sequence of decimal digits and then       each decimal digit is encoded as a four-bit binary number (a       {nibble}).   E.g. decimal 92 would be encoded as the eight-bit       sequence 1001 0010.          In some cases, the right-most nibble contains the sign       (positive or negative).          It is easier to convert decimal numbers to and from BCD than       binary and, though BCD is often converted to binary for       arithmetic processing, it is possible to build {hardware} that       operates directly on BCD.          [Do calculators use BCD?]          (2001-01-27)
