Number bases

When relevant, the base of a number is written explicitly as \(x_y\), with \(y\) as the base.

The following number bases are used throughout this documentation:

  • Binary (\(y = 2\)). Example: The binary number \(10101010\) is written as \(10101010_2\)

  • Decimal (\(y = 10\)). Example: The decimal number \(170\) is written as \(170_{10}\)

  • Hexadecimal (\(y = 16\)). Example: The hexadecimal number \(AA\) is written as \(AA_{16}\)

The value of a number is the same regardless of the base (e.g. the values in above examples are equal \(10101010_2 = 170_{10} = AA_{16}\)). However, it is sometimes more convenient to represent the number using a specific base.
