+# All Your Base
+
+Welcome to All Your Base on Exercism's Rust Track.
+If you need help running the tests or submitting your code, check out `HELP.md`.
+
+## Instructions
+
+Convert a number, represented as a sequence of digits in one base, to any other base.
+
+Implement general base conversion. Given a number in base **a**,
+represented as a sequence of digits, convert it to base **b**.
+
+## Note
+
+- Try to implement the conversion yourself.
+  Do not use something else to perform the conversion for you.
+
+## About [Positional Notation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positional_notation)
+
+In positional notation, a number in base **b** can be understood as a linear
+combination of powers of **b**.
+
+The number 42, *in base 10*, means:
+
+(4 * 10^1) + (2 * 10^0)
+
+The number 101010, *in base 2*, means:
+
+(1 * 2^5) + (0 * 2^4) + (1 * 2^3) + (0 * 2^2) + (1 * 2^1) + (0 * 2^0)
+
+The number 1120, *in base 3*, means:
+
+(1 * 3^3) + (1 * 3^2) + (2 * 3^1) + (0 * 3^0)
+
+I think you got the idea!
+
+*Yes. Those three numbers above are exactly the same. Congratulations!*
