Just looking into the constants page
[http://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Vocabulary/Constants]. In the 'infinity'
section Martin Kreuzer stuck in a clipping from Euler, 1802, blithely
explaining why 1%0 = infinity. Oh, those roaring 1800's.

Thank you Henry.
Your new table alone can replace the entire dcons.htm page I’ve been struggling
with.
I also missed the important fact that, unlike other languages, the specification of
the base (left of b) does not change/restrict the range of valid digits (in the
right of b) -- 0-9 and a-z are always "valid digits” for any base.
Thanks to your detail explanation!

The page http://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Vocabulary/Constants
<http://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Vocabulary/Constants> , though incomplete, has
much good to say about constants. I just now added a section
The_Hierarchy_of_Letters with some details.

Hi, a newbie question
Iâvee been trying to test my understanding of the following page by combining
them in different ways.
http://www.jsoftware.com/help/dictionary/dcons.htm
<http://www.jsoftware.com/help/dictionary/dcons.htm>
It went well except when I try mixing with non-decimal numbers. Like:
NB. Tried to do 10*1p0, but p is higher than b in hierarchy; wonât work.
NB. But it still have an answer?
16bap0
2960
So, questions are:
1. how does it get the value of 2960?
2. Is there a tool to help understand construct like this? (similar to dissect,
or ;: for example)
thank you.
