baseconvert

decida.baseconvert(base_from, base_to, number, digits=None)

synopsis:

Convert number in one base to another.

The input number to be converted by baseconvert is the number’s string representation in base_from. The result is the number’s string representation in base_to.

arguments:

base_from (int)

number is represented in this base

base_to (int)

output is to be represented in this base

number (str)

input number represented in base base_from

digits (int, default=None)

if specified, and output string is shorter than digits, fill with zeros until output string is digits long

result:

return string representation of number in base base_to

examples:

>>> import decida
>>> decida.baseconvert(16, 10, "1242")
'74562'

>>> import decida
>>> decida.baseconvert(10, 16, "113", 4)
'0071'

notes:

string.atoi(number, base) converts base 10 number to other base
