Strange I haven't paid attention. Could this be a typo?

EDIT: JosJuice, yeah but then I wonder why they put effort in even allowing to enable/disable it at all x.x

I chose x instead of h because it's used in a lot of comp languages (as in 0x2858EF29).

I can change it easily if you want, though.

I think we should go with h, because that's what is used more on-calc. Everytime I stumble on an ASM coder post he says stuff like 9000h or the like

I was actually thinking of also adding hexal (if anyone still uses that :P), which would be "h." Would anyone even use that, though?

Or I could add a [BASE]NUMBER syntax for any base.

Idk what does hexal means x.x
I think it should remain as numbers followed by h or h followed by numbers. Idk. Try to stick to the formats used in z80 assembly for the 83+

hexal is base 6. i'd suggest just having binary, octal, decimal and hexadecimal though.

Yeah probably, and i second hex being prefaced by a h, although would it be very difficult to have x and h?

Not hard at all, but it'd make the prgm just a little bit slower. I'll change it to h, then.

And uppercase, right?

EDIT: Actually, here's the reason I chose lowercase: most people who code on their calcs will probably already have lowercase enabled, and it's not used in calc syntax anyway. In other words, there'd be no mixing up H*2*E and h2E. Maybe a poll?

Posted a poll just for the fun of it. I'll probably change it to upper, though.

*bump* New version up in the first post (changed everything to uppercase and changed x to H). Enjoy!

I just edited it with SourceCoder, and I haven't tested it yet, so tell me if there are any syntax errors.

Cool, it should be easier to use :D

I really like how you can calculate multiple bases together.

It basically just replaces the numbers in the string with the decimal equivalents :)

EDIT: By the way, how do I get rid of the poll?
