I am working my way through an algorithm book, and there was a brief mention of using Mixed Radix to store a date. There was only one article in stackoverflow, and I could find little else about it on the internet (specifically converting a mixed radix to decimal).
Is Mixed Radix a concept in use in the real world? If so, what are examples of real world usages?
The concept is used a lot, especially for date/time. You also have it in non-metric units of measurement, miles-yards-feet-inches, pounds-ounces, etc.
