I was looking at the Java online documentation; you know, the really long one that has descriptions of all the classes and interfaces. I was looking for information about the Character class and I found a method in the class that converts a primitive of type char to a digit. But the method has a parameter that is the "radix". What is this "radix"? Is it the base? Like binary, octal, hexadecimal, decimal, etc.? I think this method is called digit() or getDigit(). |
