What is positional and nonpositional number system?
The number system now in commonest use worldwide is positional. Consider a number such as 924.37. The position of each digit in the number indicates how significant it is. The digit 9 represents 100s, the 2 10s, the 4 1s, and so on.The Roman number, or 'numeral' system, is non-positional. The value of a character in a number does not depend on its position only. Rather, the value of a character depends on what the character is and on neighbouring characters. Consider a number such as XLIV. In this case the 'X' means ten but only as a modifier for the 'L' which stands for fifty, so that the combination 'XL' means 40.
What is the major difference between the hieratic numerals and your number system?
hieratic numerals did not form a positional system so the particular numerals could be written in any order.
Why there is no number 0 in roman numbers?
The number system that we use today is the Hindu-Arabic numeral system and a 0 number is essential for positional place value purposes as for example it shows us that there is a difference between 27 and 207 but a 0 number is not needed in the Roman numeral system because the positional place value of its numerals are self evident as for example XXVII is 27 and CCVII is 207
What are the different types of numbering systems?
Their are two types of number systems. 1. Non positional number systems 2. Positional number systems.
What are the advantages of knowing the place value and value of each digit in a number?
So as not to be shortchanged when handling money because there's a difference between $203 and $2003 and knowing the positional place value of numbers by means of the 0 symbol will prevent any mistakes.

Definition of Non positional number systems?
In the non positional number system, the value of the number does not depend upon the position of "digits" used to represent the number. Unlike the positional number system, in non positional system every number, as a whole, is represented as a combination of certain specific symbols. Therefore, according to me, there is no such a notion of "digits" in the non positional system. The classic example of non positional number system is the Roman number system in which the numbers are represented by certain specific symbols: I for 1 II for 2 X for 10 XX for 20 etc.
What are the different types of numbering systems?
Their are two types of number systems. 1. Non positional number systems 2. Positional number systems.
What are positional muber system?
I think you meant positional number system or Positional Notation. In computer science when we talk about positional notation where talking about the binary(base 2) and hexadecimal(base 16) system. So for the most part a positional number system is a counting system. We for example use a base 10 counting system.
