So even here you are not giving any argument,

I remember you started this thread, so you should be interested.

For the rest this sentence is so bad English

Mamma look, no hands! How good of you.

Were you looking for help when you opend this thread?
Anyway, you do not decide what responses you want or not.

What do you mean by that here?

Do you still mean "integers"?

Integers are values, you can not manipulate values, 
you can only manipulate representations of values.

It is not just a bad idea,
you simply cannot do that as integers are values,
and values have no base.

So you suddenly prefer the result of added fractions,
over substracted fractions perhaps?

What fractions?

What has your preference to do with the above? 

It seems you are just uttering unconnected sentences.

If  Y=[1,1,1,1,1]  is saying that 1 is a member of the set Y then
saying it 5 times makes no difference - it's still the same set with
one member.

However, if  [1,1,1,1,1]  is a list, then that's all right - it has
five elements - but it's not representing a set.

There is the set of things JT understands, and the universal set. We're 
still looking for the intersection, but the harder we look, the more 
apparent it becomes that the set of things JT understands is the empty 
set.

You draw a ring with five tallymarks within you have a set with five members. Ever so often the tallymarks turn out to be five idiots who do not know howto break out of the circle, of nonsense reasoning.

You draw a ring and write five tallymarks within it and you have a set of five members end of story.

If the tallymarks represent different things then, yes, you have five
members.

On the other hand, if two of the tally marks represent the *same*
thing, then you don't have five members.

That's how sets work and is what I said.

http://jt.node365.se/baseconversion.html

Thanks to Ben and console.log(), the format output bug is fixed it was rather silly i somehow used join and converted integers to strings.

However it still do stall as the base goes up and it get worse as the base get more digits.

I do not think it simply about the counter having more work todo that would be neglectable for bases below 1000. 

But since the bug seem hard to track down i go on replace the search algorithm to replace the counter. 

And hopefully the lagging will dissapear.
I find it quite strange how the behaviour change as one goes from base 10 to 11. One could think it could multiply the time by some factor, but not make it 10 000 times slower.

The question is whether he'll start listening to advice before people

Nonsensical words, what is *decimal level*, please make some sense in that.

Elements are not stored as anything,
elements can only have a variable value of one of the types.

So you "store a value in an element".

No, the value stored in an array element can be one of the named types,
and if it is a floating point numeric value, that value can be an integer.
 
> Really how hard can it be to understand.

Really hard, Jonas, because you use terminology that you make up yourself,
and that is inconsistent with the workings of Javascript, logic and 
mathemetics. 

That means we have to guess what you mean and then try to correct you.

Finally:
DO NOT REVERSE ARRAYS, manipulate the index.

And please, don't say that in an array of arrays, 
the inner arrays are not arrays.

The obvious thing to do is to write two functions for accessing arrays
and strings in reverse :
  reverseAccessArray
  reverseAccessString
To get the item at index 3 from the end of the array a you call
  reverseAccessArray(a, 3)
To get the item at index 4 from the end of the string b you call
  reverseAccessString(b, 4)

And to get the item at index 4 from the end of the string that is at
index 3 from the end of the array a you call
  reverseAccessString(reverseAccessArray(a, 3),  4)
Could anything be simpler?
