This project converts a number in decimal (base ten [the number system we generally use]) to a different base, between 1 and 36. A base is a unit of counting. In a base, when a place value equals the base number, it resets the place value, and changes the next value by 1. Bad explanation, I know. Bases are also called radices (it's a Latin work; plural of radix), and so to look it up on Wikipedia, look up radix. Some common bases are base 2 (binary), base 8 (octal), base 12 (duodecimal or dozenal), and base 16 (hexadecimal). This project allows converting to any base between 1 and 36. Bases that go above the standard numbers (013456789) are represented with letters (ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ). A note about reading numbers in bases other than decimal: each digit is read individually. Thus, the number 100 in binary (4 in decimal), is read as "one zero zero", not "one hundred". F in hexadecimal (15 in decimal) is read as "F". Enjoy converting your numbers!
