Arbitrary Base Conversion

• There is very little to discuss here.
• In a positive integer base n
  • There are n digits $\{ 0, 1, 2, 3, ..., n-1\}$
    • If n > 10, we start to use letters.
    • For base 11, we use 0-9 + a
    • For base 16 we use 0-0 + a-f
    • No digit will ever be equal to n.
  • The radix for base n is n
  • For bases other than 10, subscript the number with the radix or base to indicate the base it is in.
• While it is possible to convert directly between any two bases
  • You need to be able to divide in an arbitrary base.
  • And I can't do that.
  • So I convert everything to base 10.
• Take a look at BaseN.cpp
