Salesforce com Id attribute seems to have a 15 and 18 character value whats the difference

0 votes
When working with salesforce.com (SFDC) using the SOAP API, it appears that the primary key in the underlying database is Id. This number appears to be represented in two ways: a 15-character version and an 18-character version.

I've been using the 18 because it's plainly more specific, but what's in the last three digits that they can ostensibly be dropped?
