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.

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.
