Both ,feedback and strip-types use bitsets to keep track what they are doing. Any number in a computer is made out of - bits that are on or off, but we represtent them as normal base 10 + bits that are on or off, but we represent them as normal base 10 numbers. Any one bit turned on will add a unique value to the number as a whole. So for each kind of feedback or strip type to be used, that number should be added to the total.
