BPFK Section: Digits

From Lojban
Jump to navigation Jump to search
This page is imported from version 12 of the page BPFK Section: Digits from the lojban Tiki.

The base of a number string should be base-ten, unless:

  • explicitly specified by ju'u, AND/OR
  • the string contains hexadecimal digits, in which case it is defaults to hexadecimal, AND/OR
  • overridden by context

It should not be necessary to state this in the cmavo definitions here, but rather in the definition for ju'u.

I assume that it is unnecessary to formally define the mechanism of big-endian positional notation. At any rate, I am unable to do so myself.

Usage for decimal digits

cacra li revo .a li pare
It lasts for 24 or 12 hours.

mi tatpi .i li paci vi tcika
I'm tired. It's 13 o'clock here.

li paze pi'e ci
17:03

Usage for hexadecimal digits

li dau re ci vai vai vai vai vai
A23FFFFF
