It appears that b has the highest priority, and that in xby the x may contain e/p/j but the y may not.  p is a valid digit in a b-constant:

   (256*10) + (16*25) + 0
2960

10*1p0 is an expression, 10 * (1 * pi ^ 0) = 10 * 1 = 1.

There is no tool that I know of for analyzing constants.

Hi, a newbie question …

I’ve been trying to test my understanding of the following page by combining 
them in different ways.

        http://www.jsoftware.com/help/dictionary/dcons.htm

It went well except when I try mixing with non-decimal numbers.  Like:

     NB. Tried to do 10*1p0, but p is higher than b in hierarchy; won’t work.
     NB. But it still have an answer?
    16bap0
2960

So, questions are:
1. how does it get the value of 2960?
2. Is there a tool to help understand construct like this? (similar to dissect, 
or ;: for example)

thank you.
