Regarding the terms what terms is wrong?
There ain't no other name for decimal number then a decimal encoded number. Integers are just decimal encoded numbers. If you work in base 8 they are not integers. They are integers because they use 10 unique digits.
And a digit is just one of those unique digit 0-9.
I probably should named digits to digitplace but it was to long.
Digmult is a multiple of the exponent using a specific base at a specific digiplace, so i can hardly name it exponent.
I think i named my variable straightforward.
