I though it would be interesting doing comparissons in timing adding
massive digits in different bases. Especially in Python.
Python has built-in bignums. Try "print 2**500".
I will try implement the common operators + - * / pow sqrt operators mod floor
and and a generic parser taking arguments in any base.
Why on earth would you bother? Use the int(x, base) to convert a string
in an arbitrary base to an int. Write a similar function to convert an
int back into a string of the desired base. Of course, your strings
aren't in a standard form, so you'd have to do some work to get those
instead. Are you really intending to use a base beyond 36?
Then to add two numbers, use + To multiply, use *, and so on.
Assuming Python 3.x of course. if you're in Python 2, you'd use "long"
rather than int.
