Initial Description 
The snippet uses the native Javascript function so it should be more efficient then for instance using arithmetic or looped bitwise operations etc. 

Examples:

	// convert the decimal 10 to hex 
	Math.base(10, 16); // 'a'
	
	// convert the hex 'a' to decimal 
	Math.base('a', 10, 16); // 10
	
	// convert the decimal 10 to binary
	Math.base(10, 2); // '1010'
	
	// convert the hex 'a' to decimal 
	Math.base('a', 2, 16); // 1010
