Quinary Base5

in #quinary7 years ago

This diagram compares Quinary #Base5 to the familiar Base 10 number system. I'm using unique colors and symbols (Chromalendar #Numbers), rather than Arabic numbers.

In #ComputerProgramming the code is constantly being converted in base 10, base 2, base 8, base 16. Compare base5 over five iterations and base10 over 5 iterations, like this:

Base5: 0123401234012340123401234

Base10: 01234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789

That's half the computation power if we don't need extra symbols or placeholders for the representations of those quantities. Calculating with a base 5 system could potentially reduce #Computation time.
