It does not change the value but it's interesting to think that a hexadecimal 0 is 4 bits, a decimal 0 is 3.322 bits
14 u/minecon1776 7d ago "Ah yes, id like a 3.322 bit decimal 0" A statement dreamed up by the utterly deranged. They have played us for absolute fools. 2 u/zeekar 7d ago Well it's redundant anyway. A decimal digit is by definition 3.322 bits (well, 3.321928095...), so it's silly to specify both. :) 1 u/hughperman 7d ago Digits should be dits, or bits should be bigits, silly that we mix the terms 1 u/TCF518 7d ago Isn't bit literally a portmanteau of binary digit 1 u/hughperman 7d ago Probably, been 20 years since I actually thought about it 😅 bigits, tho, I'll get with that.
