Hi all,

I'm new to the language (and hence this list). As a programmer I find
the function/argument approach of the language fascinating and it seems
to me more natural to learn than a 'natural' language (though I may
rethink this the more I try to learn).

The first thing I'm interested in; I've read of the debate about whether
lojban should use base-10 or base-16 numbers. I see the list of base-10
numerals but I haven't seen anything for a base-16 number. Is there an
extra set of number words (something past so)? Or are abu. by. cy. (or
tcy.), etc. used like the computer hex does (A-F for 10-15)?

Lance.



Hello. I'm new to the list and I'm a programmer too.

Lojban by default uses base 10, but it does have words for digits the hex digits 10-15; dau, fei, gai, jau, rei, vai.
