Base Conversions

RandomPscho · 03-8-2007, 04:10 PM

Hey all,
I have to make a program that converts from any base number system to another. I know how to do anything to base ten, but how do you go from anything to anything?

Going to base ten is simple:

digit3 * base^2 + digit2 *base^1 +digit1*base^0 etc;
but how do you set it up to go from other bases? I know its easy, but I can't think of the setup -.-

Thanks.

Congrats on getting it working =]

Sorry about that, I honestly didn't know how I could get that done. What language were you doing this in?

Java -- all standard classes (String Scanner and StringBuffer is all I used I think :s, oh and the Math class

)

I know it has something to do with s.toString(int, int)...with s being a String and those two ints being something and the base you want...I forgot the exact usage though

Oh damn I wish I had my old C++ base converter for you, it did any conversion from 32 down.

Mine does up to 35
