baseNtoDec(A,n)

Base conversion from any base to decimal.

Syntax

o_baseNtoDec(a)

A: scalar Text - value in base n as plain text

n: Int - base to be used

return: decimal (base 10) value

Usage

This implements a general base conversion between decimal and an arbitrary base. The numeric characters 0-9 are used up to base ten, then the alpha characters A-Z up to base 37 and then beyond that are ASCII characters.

Location

menu: veeos ==> Data ==> baseNtoDec

library: dataLib

Example

o_baseNtoDec("A36",27) returns 7377

o_baseNtoDec("A36",16) returns 2614

Notes

This is implemented without loops so is very fast. Only positive integer values are supported.
