Combinatorial number system 601 and 1010001011 = 651, which again shows that "C" comes before "C"<nowiki>'</nowiki>. This number is not however the one one wants to represent the "k"-combination with, since many binary numbers have a number of raised bits different from "k"; one wants to find the relative position of "C" in the ordered list of (only) "k"-combinations. The number associated in the combinatorial number system of degree "k" to a "k"-combination "C" is the number of "k"-combinations strictly less than "C" in the given ordering. This number can be computed from "C" = { "c", ..., "c", "c" } with "c"
Bibi-binary and the sum of −7 and 7 would give "0 0000"; this "two's complement" system thus needs only a single representation for the number zero. Bibi-binary The Bibi-binary system for numeric notation (in French système Bibi-binaire, or abbreviated "système Bibi") is a hexadecimal numeral system first described in 1968 by singer/mathematician Robert "Boby" Lapointe (1922–1972). At the time, it attracted the attention of André Lichnerowicz, then engaged in studies at the University of Lyon. It found some use in a variety of unforeseen applications: stochastic poetry, stochastic art, colour classification, aleatory music, architectural symbolism, etc. The notational system directly and
