## Overview
Hexadecimal encoding refers to the 16-base representation of binary numbers. Distinguish potentially ambiguous values like $32$ with the base as a subscript, e.g. $32_{10}$ vs $32_{16}$.
The **radix** is the number of unique digits used to represent numbers in a positional numeral system. Most commonly used systems tend to be binary ($2$-base), octal ($8$-base), decimal ($10$-base), and [[#Hexadecimal|hexadecimal]] ($16$-base).

What is the process of subtracting a larger digit from a smaller one in radix $r$?
Back: Decrement the next non-zero and add $r$ to the smaller digit in question.

### Stars and Bars
The **stars and bars** chart refers to a graphical depiction of distributing $n$ objects (represented as $*$) into $m$ different buckets (delineated via $|$. An example chart looks like so: $$**|***|*||*$$
Notice there are $m - 1$ bars and interspersed amongst the $n$ stars. In the above example, there are $11$ total symbols, $4$ of which are bars, meaning there are $\binom{11}{4}$ ways to distribute the objects amongst the $5$ buckets. We can represent this using bit strings instead, with `0`s as stars and `1`s as bars. The above example is equivalently written as: $$00100010110$$

## Lattice Paths
A **lattice path** is one of the shorted possible paths connecting two points on a lattice, moving only horizontally and vertically. By representing each horizontal move by `1` and each vertical move by `1`, we see every lattice path has a corresponding [[#Bit Strings|bit string]].
