Artificial Neural Networks made easy with the FANN library

/*       Parity Benchmark Data Set Generator
	 
	 v1.0

	 QUESTIONS/COMMENTS: neural-bench@cs.cmu.edu

	 Usage: a.out <# of inputs>
           # of inputs defaults to 2, or XOR.
	   Care should be taken not to input a number greater than the number
	   of bits, usually 32, of the machine being used, minus one.  Thus,
           for most computers, the maximum input is 31.
  
	 Description
	 ~~~~~~~~~~~
	   This program generates parity benchmark data in the CMU Neural 
         Network Benchmark format.
