very basic decimal --> binary converter

[ZeroPaladn]

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.

[Mr. T]

Good effort.

[ZeroPaladn]

thanks. im going to post the other half of the program (binary --> decimal) later on either today or tomorow when i get to finishing it.

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):

code:

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

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

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...

Mod bit totals are fixed.

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.

lolz, you learn sumthing every day now dont we?

EDIT

I didnt know zylum was a mod, grats

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...
