[Tutor] built in functions int(),long()

[Greg Chapman]

I'm guessing that int is by definition base10; the radix parameter tells the
function what base you are coming *from*.  Therefore int(123,2) is illegal
because 2 and 3 are not valid values for base2 numbers.  int(123,4) is 27
because 1*4^2+2*4+3=27.

Does this make sense?
