BaseForm¶

Displays a number in a specified base. Without a front-end it prints verbatim, matching wolframscript.

$ wo 'BaseForm[255, 16]'
BaseForm[255, 16]

Under ToString the digits are rendered with the base shown as a subscript on the line below.

$ wo 'ToString[BaseForm[255, 16]]'
ff
  16

Base 10 shows no subscript.

$ wo 'ToString[BaseForm[255, 10]]'
255
