20. The main chain is the longest linear chain defined so as to have the largest number of branches; atoms and bonds in the main chain are numbered in that direction that results in the lowest locants for branching points.
21. Another coding system is possible for branched compounds carrying a CIP descriptor, such as (R)- or (S)-3-methylhexane; it profits from the fact that in every conformation the direction of the side chain is determined by the configuration of the branching atom. It therefore suffices to code the conformation of the main chain and to add the CIP descriptor. In this system the two conformers of the enantiomeric 3-methylhexanes depicted in Figure 4, middle row, are ZZZ-(3R)-3-methylhexane and ZZZ-(3S)-3-methylhexane, respectively. We do not favor this nomenclature system, since it is obviously useless in cases lacking a CIP descriptor, such as 3-methylpentane and 2-methylpentane, and generally for branched chains in the cubic lattice, where analogues to the CIP descriptors are not defined.

33. Thus, the procedure is equivalent to simply counting the number of vertices at which the path does not turn.
34. N pairs included and thus with the extendedness of the path: the most extended (most folded) path has the longest (shortest) code. This is of course true only in the absence of I descriptors.
