- The conversion base specifies if integers should be interpreted as
- decimal, hexadecimal, or octal values. The conversion base also
- determines which characters are treated as digits. If the
- conversion base is hexadecimal, the characters "a" through "f"
- (both upper- and lowercase) are also considered to be digits. If
- the conversion base is octal, only the characters "0" through "7"
- are considered to be digits.
