#### 2.4.8.11 Sharpsign R

`#nR`

`#radixRrational` reads rational in radix radix. radix must consist of only digits that are interpreted as an integer in decimal radix; its value must be between 2 and 36 (inclusive). Only valid digits for the specified radix may be used.

For example, `#3r102` is another way of writing `11` (decimal), and `#11R32` is another way of writing `35` (decimal). For radices larger than 10, letters of the alphabet are used in order for the digits after `9`. No alternate `#` notation exists for the decimal radix since a decimal point suffices.

Figure 2–20 contains examples of the use of `#B`, `#O`, `#X`, and `#R`.

The consequences are undefined if the token immediately following the `#nR` does not have the syntax of a rational in radix n.
