HP Prime: Base Conversions
Introduction
The program BASEDEC converts a number in a base representation to decimal (base 10). BASEDEC accepts any positive number, including non-integers up to base 36. Each of the letters of alphabet represents a value:
A = 10
B = 11
C = 12
D = 13
E = 14
F = 15
...
Z = 35
BASEDEC takes two arguments: number to be converted, entered as a string; and the base representation of the number.
Examples:
BASEDEC("531",8) converts 531_8 to decimal. Result: 345
BASEDEC("63.95A", 11) converts 63.95A_11 to decimal. Result: 69.86701728
BASEDEC("4H", 18) converts 4H_18 to decimal. Result: 89 (H = 17)

END;

sl:=LEFT(s,pt-1);
sr:=RIGHT(s,l-pt);
END;
// conversion to decimal

ls:=DIM(sl);
IF ls>0 THEN
FOR k FROM 1 TO ls DO
sd:=MID(sl,k,1);
ac:=ASC(sd);
al:=ac(1);
dg:=when(al>64,al-55,EXPR(sd));
d:=d+dg*b^(ls-k);
END;
END;
// fractional part
lr:=DIM(sr);
IF lr>0 THEN
FOR k FROM 1 TO lr DO
sd:=MID(sr,k,1);
ac:=ASC(sd);

d:=d+dg/(b^k);
END;
END;
// return decimal
RETURN d;
END;
Introduction Part II
The program DECBASE converts a number in decimal form to any base you want. DECBASE works will all positive real numbers. There are three arguments to DECBASE:
* The number in decimal form
* The desired base
* Accuracy: how many decimal points do you want. Conversions from decimal to other bases are approximations. If the number is a integer (frac(number) = 0), then this argument is ignored (put 0).
The result is returned as a string.
Examples:
DECBASE(69, 6, 0) converts 69 to base 6. Result: "153"
DECBASE(5.875, 8, 4) converts 5.875 to base 8 to four decimals. Result: "5.7000" (exact: 5.7_8)
DECBASE(635.05, 12, 12) converts 635.05 to base 12 to twelve decimals. Result: "44B.072497249724" (exact: 44B.07249..._12 (7249 repeats))
