If you are concerned about how it is stored inside the computer
you don't need to worry. The number 16#A# is the same number as 10,
and is stored in binary format inside the computer (it is converted
to a binary format by the compiler, or by the assembler).
It is only when it is being displayed that it is changed from
binary to whatever base you want.
