I kinda want a hexadecimal version of the metric system.
In hex:
10 mm = 1cm
100cm = 1m
1000m = 1km
1km - 1m = FFFm = 0.FFFkm
Still works fine.
Wouldn't it be
Edit: nvm I see what you mean, but then we should change the units too, to something like xmm, xcm etc.
Yeah, we'd need to change the names and abbreviations of the units too, to show that "km" isn't 10³ m but rather 16³m = 0x10³m.
That would still be a decimal system just written in a hexadecimal way.
Measurement system doesn't have anything to do with numerical base. You can use any base with any system.
16m = Fm
which is pretty ass if you ask me
The biggest problem is that if you're still using numbers that are designed for base 10 it'll look messy no matter how you cut it. Hexadecimal is an approximation.
What do you mean Hex is an approximation?
Each number in decimal is 1/10th and in Hex 1/16th ?
I mean we have numbers that go from 1 to 9 but if it was hexadecimal they would go to the equivalent of 15, not substitute letters.
