Biginteger (String val, int radix) Translates the String representation of a BigInteger in the specified radix into a BigInteger.

Ellis in a paper "on the potential radix as a means of calculating logarithms," printed in the Proceedings of the Royal Society, vol.
For example, consider the radix character, the symbol used to separate the integer portion of a number from the fractional portion.
For floating point types, digits is the number of radix digits in the mantissa.
He uses "radicatum" for power (for root, power, exponent, his words are radix, radicatum, index).
In an appendix of forty-one pages he gives his third method, "local arithmetic," which is performed on a chess-board, and depends, in principle, on the expression of numbers in the scale of radix 2.
It was first formally proposed as an independent method, with great improvements, by Robert Flower in The Radix, a new way of making Logarithms, which was published in 1771; and Leonelli, in his Supplement logarithmique (1802-1803), already noticed, referred to Flower and reproduced some of his tables.
Octal and hex numbers may be specified as in C. The second argument specifies the radix for the result; the default is 10.
The input radix controls the interpretation of numbers typed in; all numbers typed in use this radix.
The output radix must be at least 2. The precision must be zero or greater.
The radix argument is interpreted in the same way as for int(), and may only be given when x is a string.
