Im new to smalltalk so im not sure how you derived the numbers. 
So if I have 000A as a unicode how do I do the transformation? I don’t know how 
you got 
2r10101101
16rA

And what are base r and number in <base>r<number> ?

Thanks again 
Mohammad

because 000A is not valid literal in smalltalk.
it is actually understood by compiler as unary message:
 0 A

if you want to use hexadecimal integer litrals, you should use radix notation:

<base>r<number>

try:

2r10101101
16rA
