hi Ship's Log, Lt. David Stern, Stardate 280199.1148:
> OK, hex numbers are radix 16, octal radix 8, decimal radix 1. As mentioned in an other mail, it's 10. There are no base 1 #s @all as 1^r for all r is still 1 (besids you have always base# of digits starting with 0) > Good. Now I can convert between hex, octal and decimal. To extend yer knowledge ;-) you can always do a # mod base ; # -> # div base Which will give you digit fer digit starting with the lowest one. (Thell me if I abreviate 2 much :) > I guess I'll have to determine when to use each based on context. That is easy. Hex have capital letters, octals are 3 digits and start with a \ deciaml numbers are stored in i or o, binaries are just logical. Besids these noone in there right mind uses any and whoever starts base 7 will be shot anyway. > Thanks! Now, where is that coffee? :-) Ah, can I have tea instead? A hot, black tea without any milk or sugar. :-) Greetings -- Alexander N.
