m base (exponentiation) -> radix
Line 37:
All numbers and variable contents are [[arbitrary-precision]] numbers whose precision (in decimal places) is determined by the global '''<code>scale</code>''' variable.
 
The [[base (exponentiation)radix|numeric base]] of input (in interactive mode), output and program constants may be specified by setting the reserved '''<code>ibase</code>''' (input base) and '''<code>obase</code>''' (output base) variables.
 
Output is generated by deliberately not assigning the result of a calculation to a variable.
