I thought about the importance of 0 in numeral systems, and base 26 doesn't have one, for example those numbers in base 10 are the same:
0342 342 000342
In base26, any word would need to be expressed as follow, for example the word
duck
would be equal to
aaaaaaduck
because a
is considered to be zero.
Am I right ?
I know the question is not really interesting when thinking about maths, but I just wanted to know where I could be wrong with this.
Also the use of 0 allows to make actual sentences if you use it as a separator.
EDIT: of course when I ask about base 26, it implies letters.
