Bijective Numeration - Examples

Examples

(34152)five-adic = 3×54 + 4×53 + 1×52 + 5×51 + 2×50 = (2427)decimal.
(119A)ten-adic = 1×103 + 1×102 + 9×101 + 10×100 = (1200)decimal.

In the last example, the digit "A" represents the integer ten. For 10 ≤ k ≤ 35, it is common to use successive letters of a common alphabet for the digits after 9; e.g., bijective hexadecimal would use the sixteen digits {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F, G}.

Famous quotes containing the word examples:

    In the examples that I here bring in of what I have [read], heard, done or said, I have refrained from daring to alter even the smallest and most indifferent circumstances. My conscience falsifies not an iota; for my knowledge I cannot answer.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    There are many examples of women that have excelled in learning, and even in war, but this is no reason we should bring ‘em all up to Latin and Greek or else military discipline, instead of needle-work and housewifry.
    Bernard Mandeville (1670–1733)

    No rules exist, and examples are simply life-savers answering the appeals of rules making vain attempts to exist.
    André Breton (1896–1966)
