very basic decimal --> binary converter

-----------------------------------

this is my basic decimal to binary converter. im working on a way to go backwards from binary to decimal. its not very user friendly, but hey, whatever.

If this is for school, you'd get brownie points for throwing in hex conversion as well.

binary -> hex -> binary is the easiest conversion of all 3.
Once you have that down, you can 'cheat' by converting

decimal -> binary -> hex
or 
hex -> binary -> decimal

...for conversion between all three.

lolz, yeah but i prefer a challenge instead of going hex/bin. then again, nobody said bin/dec was hard...


Ill do it.

behold... a function that has the ability to convert from any base to any other base in 1 line of code (minus the function declaration):

fcn baseConverter (x : string, initialBase, resultBase : int) : string
    result intstr ((strint (x, initialBase)), 0, resultBase)
end baseConverter

 :lol:

HOLY F***ING S***! sorry for caps but i was going to create a function for each thing (ex binary2hex, binary2decimal, you get the idea), but, wow. Thanks alot zylum

+bits
It just so happens that he is a moderator, and +bits will do nothing, but it's the thought that counts ;).

I am pretty sure your teacher would be happier if you did the conversions using the method you learned, not (basically) a function that already exists to do it.  Sure, "don't recreate something if there's an existing library function to do it for you", but there's also the learning process.

lolz, attempting to do waht zylum suggested is harder than i though, so i stuck with the old idea that i had. Lolz, it wouldnt let me give him bits anyways...  :oops:

By which he means the whole donation-modding-of-bits is bugged right now.  You can still give bits to mods.  The difference is our bits go back to 1000 the next time we post.

If someone has 1000 bits exactly, chances are pretty darn good that that person is a mod.

He's a stealth mod.  ;)

Not that I would know anything about that...

Did you get something like so:
var inputNum : int
var binaryOut : array 1 .. 8 of int := init (0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0)

get inputNum

for count : 1 .. 8
    if inputNum mod 2 = 1 then
        binaryOut (count) := 1
    else
        binaryOut (count) := 0
    end if
    inputNum := inputNum div 2
end for

for decreasing count : 8 .. 1
    put binaryOut (count) ..
end for

Oops, wrong thread, but it's about the same thing anyway :o.
