Help with strint base conversion

[vapour99]

I am using the strint (value,base) function to convert bases in a base conversion program, however am lost as to how it does this exactly (what the function does)

Here is an example of the strint conversion method used to convert to hexadecimal from any base:

code:

get hexin     decout := strint (hexin, 16)

As always; Help is much appreciated!
