-different numbers. The numbers are the same and mean the same. It is
-only a different representation. This means that you have to know the
-representation used, or as it is called the numbering system or base.
-Normally if we do not speak about the numbering system used, we're
-using the decimal system. If we are talking about another numbering
-system, we'll have to make that clear. There are a few wide-spread
-methods to do so. One common form is to write 1010(2) which means that
-you wrote down a number in the binary form. It is the number ten.
-If you would write 1010 it means the number one thousand and ten.
-
-In books, another form is most used. It uses subscript (little chars,
-more or less in between two rows). You can leave out the parentheses
-in that case and write down the number in normal characters followed
-with a little two just behind it.
-
-The numbering system used is also called the base. We talk of the number
-1100 base 2, the number 12 base 10.
-
-For the binary system, is is common to write leading zero's. The numbers
-are written down in series of four, eight or sixteen depending on the
-context.
-
-We can use the binary form when talking to computers (...programming...)
-but the numbers will have large representations. The number 65535 would
-be written down as 1111111111111111(2) which is 16 times the digit 1.
-This is difficult and prone to errors. Therefore we normally would use
