Specifying a Number Base

•Whenever you input a value into a line for which a number base is specified, the input value is converted automatically to the specified number base. Performing the calculation 19+1 in a line for which Hex (Hexadecimal) is specified as the number base, both the 19 and 1 are interpreted as hexadecimal values, which produces the calculation result 1Ah. The “h” is the suffix indicating hexadecimal notation.

uTo specify a number base for an input value

You can input the following suffixes to specify the number base of a value as you input it: [b] (binary), [o] (octal), [d] (decimal), and [h] (hexadecimal).

You can specify a number base for an input value only when a default number base (besides normal) is selected
