base2 - set 2nd output base
SYNOPSIS
base2([mode])
TYPES
mode real
return real
DESCRIPTION
By default, calc will output values according to the default base
as controlled by the base() builtin function.
The base2() builtin function, if given a non-zero argument, enables
double base output mode. In double base output mode, calc values
are displayed twice, once according to base() and again according
to base2(). In double base output mode, the second time a value is
displayed, it is displayed within comments:
21701 /* 0x54c5 */
The arguments for base2() are identical to base() with the addition
of the 0 value:
base2 equivalent
config("mode2")'s
2 "binary" base 2 fractions
"bin"
8 "octal" base 8 fractions
"oct"
10 "real" base 10 floating point
"float"
"default"
-10 "integer" base 10 integers
"int"
16 "hexadecimal" base 16 fractions
"hex"
1/3 "fraction" base 10 fractions
"frac"
1e20 "scientific" base 10 scientific notation
"sci"
"exp"
0 "off" disable double base output
For convenience, any non-integer non-zero value is assumed to mean
base 10 fractions and any integer >= 2^64 is assumed to mean base 10
scientific notation.
These base2() calls have the same meaning as config("mode2", "fraction"):
base2(1/3) base2(0.1415) base2(16/37)
These base2() calls have the same meaning as config("mode2", "scientific"):
base2(1e20) base2(2^64) base2(2^8191-1)
However the base2() function will only return one of the base values
listed in the table above.
EXAMPLE

; 2345
