:Binary, Octal, Hexadecimal and Decimal are special cases, because they are sometimes handled natively from within the language, and sometimes they are not. A conversion task is not ideal for tasks that have native support, and a requirement for native support is not ideal for languages that do not have such a facility. These bases require their own sets of tasks. [[User:Markhobley|Markhobley]] 17:43, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
