using fewer symbols, many computer systems use mixed-alphanumeric
representations with a base (or radix) higher than 10. For example,

whereas the traditional decimal system uses 10 numerals, 0 through 9,
the hexadecimal system uses 16, with the letters A through F as the six
additional symbols. A number represented in hexadecimal format is
shorter than the equivalent decimal representation. Even more compact,
