calc: Integers

 
 5.1 Integers
 ============
 
 The Calculator stores integers to arbitrary precision.  Addition,
 subtraction, and multiplication of integers always yields an exact
 integer result.  (If the result of a division or exponentiation of
 integers is not an integer, it is expressed in fractional or
 floating-point form according to the current Fraction mode.  See
 Fraction Mode.)
 
    A decimal integer is represented as an optional sign followed by a
 sequence of digits.  Grouping (SeeGrouping Digits) can be used to
 insert a comma at every third digit for display purposes, but you must
 not type commas during the entry of numbers.
 
    A non-decimal integer is represented as an optional sign, a radix
 between 2 and 36, a ‘#’ symbol, and one or more digits.  For radix 11
 and above, the letters A through Z (upper- or lower-case) count as
 digits and do not terminate numeric entry mode.  SeeRadix Modes,
 for how to set the default radix for display of integers.  Numbers of
 any radix may be entered at any time.  If you press ‘#’ at the beginning
 of a number, the current display radix is used.
