Non-standard positional numeral systems

Non-standard positional numeral systems here designates numeral systems that may loosely be described as positional systems, but that do not entirely comply with the following description of standard positional systems:In a standard positional numeral system, the base b is a positive integer, and b different numerals are used to represent all non-negative integers. The standard set of numerals contains the b values 0, 1, 2, etc., up to b − 1, but the value is weighted according to the position of the digit in a number. The value of a digit string like pqrs in base b is given by the polynomial form.The numbers written in superscript represent the powers of the base used. For instance, in hexadecimal (b = 16), using the numerals A for 10, B for 11 etc., the digit string 7A3F means , which written in our normal decimal notation is 31295. Upon introducing a radix point "." and a minus sign "−", real numbers can be represented up to arbitrary accuracy.
