Positional Notations
Description
"Positional notation or place-value
notation is a method of representing or encoding numbers. Positional
notation is distinguished from other notations (such as Roman numerals)
for its use of the same symbol for the different orders of magnitude (for
example, the "ones place", "tens place", "hundreds place"). This greatly
simplified arithmetic leading to the rapid spread of the notation across
the world. [...] The Hindu–Arabic numeral system, base-10, is the most
commonly used system in the world today for most calculations."

Notes
The NumericalChameleon implements the positional notations with bases 2
to 36.
Smallest value: -∞
Largest value: ∞
Decimal places are not supported. "Infinity" is a theoretical value that
is limited in real life by the resources of your computer (memory and
computing time).
