base_convert

This script is used to convert integer values between to arbitrary bases. The numbers are supplied and returned as strings and the bases are supplied as integers.

n = base_convert("789", 10, 8);  //  decimal to octal returns "1425"
n = base_convert("abc", 16, 10); //  hex to decimal returns "2748"
n = base_convert("123", 10, 2);  //  decimal to binary returns "1111011"

NOTE: Check related scripts for several faster conversions of specific bases.

base_convert(number, oldbase, newbase): Returns a number converted from one base as another base.
