Quaternary is the base-4 numeral system. It uses the digits 0, 1, 2 and 3 to represent any real number.

It shares with all fixed-radix numeral systems many properties, such as the ability to represent any real number with a canonical representation (almost unique) and the characteristics of the representations of rational numbers and irrational numbers. See decimal and binary for a discussion of these properties.
