Quater-imaginary Base - Radix Point "."

Radix Point "."

A radix point in the decimal system is the usual . (dot) which marks the separation between the integral part and the fractional part of the number. In the quater-imaginary system a radix point can also be used. For a digit string the radix point marks the separation between positive and negative powers of b. Using the radix point the general formula becomes:

or

32id_{5}+16d_{4}-8id_{3}-4d_{2}+2id_{1}+d_{0}+\frac{1}{2i}d_{-1}+\frac{1}{-4}d_{-2}+\frac{1}{-8i}d_{-3}

Famous quotes containing the words point and/or point:

    “It is sometimes a point of as much cleverness to know to make good use of advice from others as to be able give good advice to oneself.”

    “When raging love with extreme pain
    Most cruelly distrains my heart,
    When that my tears, as floods of rain,
    Bear witness of my woeful smart;
    When sighs have wasted so my breath
    That I lie at the point of death,”
    —Henry Howard, Earl Of Surrey (1517?–1547)
