    How about just 0 and 1? They didn’t specify what base.

      Could also say pi is just 10 in base π

        What’s 9 in base pi?

          9 (the base pi number) doesn’t exist because all digits must be less than pi. 9 (the base 10 number) is apparently roughly 22.2021120021 in base pi.

          Edit: a bit of explanation for that last one, it’s because 2π + 2 + 2/π + 2/π3 + 1/π4 ≈ 8.99

          would all integers necessarily be irrational in base π?

            Except for 0, 1, 2, 3.

            Integers are necessarily irrational because π is transcendental and not an algebraic number.

              how are you defining irrational? the definition i know is not base dependent.

    Is the decimal point a digit, or a character?

      A character

        Must be - a digit would be beside the point here.
