BaseForm

Usage

BaseForm[expr, n] prints with the numbers in expr given in base n.


Notes

• The maximum allowed base is 36. For bases larger than 10, additional digits are chosen from the letters a-z.
• You can enter a number in an arbitrary base using base^^digits.
• When a number in an arbitrary base is given in scientific notation, the exponent is still given in base 10.
• You can mix BaseForm with NumberForm and related functions.
BaseForm acts as a "wrapper", which affects printing, but not evaluation.
• See also: IntegerDigits, RealDigits.
• New in Version 1.
