Letters in base-conversion
- by tech_geek23
I have this code written so far and is correct, aside from not using A-F when the value is over 10:
public class TenToAny
{
private int base10;
private int newBase;
public TenToAny()
{
}
public TenToAny(int ten, int base)
{
base10 = ten;
newBase = base;
}
public void setNums(int ten, int base)
{
base10 = ten;
newBase = base;
}
public String getNewNum()
{
String newNum="";
int orig = base10;
//int first = newBase - 1;
while(orig > 0)
{
newNum = orig%newBase + newNum;
orig = orig/newBase;
}
return newNum;
}
public String toString()
{
String complete = base10 + " base 10 is " + getNewNum() + " in base " + newBase;
return complete;
}
}
Obviously I don't have anything relating to values over 10 converting to A-F as I've never dealt with these before. Any help is appreciated.
Here's my runner class:
public class Lab09i
{
public static void main( String args[] )
{
TenToAny test = new TenToAny(234, 9);
out.println(test);
test.setNums(100, 2);
out.println(test);
test.setNums(10, 2);
out.println(test);
test.setNums(15, 2);
out.println(test);
test.setNums(256, 2);
out.println(test);
test.setNums(100, 8);
out.println(test);
test.setNums(250, 16);
out.println(test);
test.setNums(56, 11);
out.println(test);
test.setNums(89, 5);
out.println(test);
test.setNums(23, 3);
out.println(test);
test.setNums(50, 5);
out.println(test);
test.setNums(55, 6);
out.println(test);
test.setNums(2500, 6);
out.println(test);
test.setNums(2500, 13);
out.println(test);
}
}
this is what my results should be:
234 base 10 is 280 in base 9
100 base 10 is 1100100 in base 2
10 base 10 is 1010 in base 2
15 base 10 is 1111 in base 2
256 base 10 is 100000000 in base 2
100 base 10 is 144 in base 8
250 base 10 is FA in base 16
56 base 10 is 51 in base 11
89 base 10 is 324 in base 5
23 base 10 is 212 in base 3
50 base 10 is 302 in base 4
55 base 10 is 131 in base 6
2500 base 10 is 9C4 in base 16
2500 base 10 is 11A4 in base 13
