Unary (209 words) |
 | The unary numeral system is the simplest system for representing natural numbers. |
| Unary may also be considered the base-1 numeral system, with the exception that the unary digit represents the number 1 instead of 0, unlike numeral systems of other bases, where digits typically range from 0 to the base minus one. |
| Compared to positional numeral systems, the unary system is inconvenient and is not used in practice. |
