Learn how bases work, then you essentially know every base.

b = base
1. you have all numbers from 0 to b-1
2. the place to the left has a maximum place value of b*current place
3. The left one always has a value of infinity because it determines the overall value of the number

Just remember: There's no such thing as "base 2 numbers", there's just "numbers". You may choose to "represent those numbers in base 2", but they're still just numbers, they don't inherently have any particular "base" attached to them.

Numbers:
-Digits
**Decimal has 10 possible digits (0-9)
**Binary has 2 possible digits (0-1)
-Operations
**Usually work for any number of digits
**If you can describe the algorithm for a numerical operation, you can usually modify it to work for any number of digits.

Eg: adding one to a number:
Increment digit by 1. If the digit was the highest possible, set it to zero and repeat for the next digit. Else return.

This works for any set of digits. Similiarly all other algorithms work for all the bases.

You can easily convert between bases by knowing that N of base B is equal to B of base N.

This way you can do 1234 base 10 = 10 base 1234. Not quite that useful in this situation, though. :/

Except base 2 was used in computers for a reason. I want to understand computer science better. @stravant
