Question About Z-Level Number Thingie
Howdy, guys 'n' gals,
I was wondering if somebody could point me in the right direction...
I want to be able to use what I am temporarily calling "Z-Level" numbering,
where it's like hexadecimal but it uses the whole alphabet (up to 'Z', you
see). Whereas hexadecimal stops at F=15, z-decimal stops at Z = 36 (starting
with 0=0 and workin' yer way up).
I would like to have a generic routine where you can plug in a value and
tell it what numbering scheme you want to use (anything from 1 (binary) to
36 (z-level) initially) and it
will return that numbering scheme's number.
For example,
rVal = number(15, 16) would set rVal to the hexadecimal equivalent of "F",
because I want '15' returned in base-16.
Or, we could have a separate function for each number base. For instance:
rVal = hex(15) would set rVal to "F".
rVal = zex(36) would set rVal to "Z".
rVal = zex(37) would set rVal to "10". (Right?)
Anyway, if anybody could provide some hints and tips in this direction, I'd
appreciate it!
TIA,
