I've never really used Mathematica before so I'm rather confused by it, how would I say convert a number, 23a94b13 to base 10?
To convert a number from one base to another in Mathematica, you can use the built-in function BaseForm. For example, to convert the number 10 from base 10 to base 2, you can use BaseForm[10,2] which will give the output 1010.
Yes, you can convert numbers with decimal points to different bases in Mathematica using the BaseForm function. For example, to convert the number 3.5 from base 10 to base 2, you can use BaseForm[3.5,2] which will give the output 11.1.
BaseForm function?Yes, there are other ways to convert numbers in Mathematica without using the BaseForm function. For example, you can use the IntegerDigits function to convert a number to a list of digits in a specific base, and then use the FromDigits function to convert that list back to a number in a different base.
Yes, you can use the FromDigits function to convert a number from a non-standard base to base 10 in Mathematica. For example, to convert the number 1010 from base 2 to base 10, you can use FromDigits[1010,2] which will give the output 10.
You can use the NumberForm function to convert a number to a different base and display it in a specific format in Mathematica. For example, to convert the number 10 from base 10 to base 2 and display it in scientific notation with 2 decimal places, you can use NumberForm[BaseForm[10,2],{2,2},ExponentFunction->(Null&)] which will give the output 1.01 x 10^1.
