type/radix

radix type

Calling sequence:

$\operatorname{type}(b, {\mathit radix})$

Parameters:

• $b$, a Maple expression

Description:

• $\operatorname{type}(b, {\mathit radix})$ returns true iff $b$ is an integer not smaller than $2$.
  
• By radix, we understand the basis of a familiar numeration system, like the binary system with $b = 2$, or the decimal system with $b = 10$.

Example:

libname := libname, FileTools:-JoinPath(["maple","lib","dcfun.mla"],base=homedir):

 with(dcfun):

A radix is merely the base of a classical numeration system.
