Using the baseConvert Function (Number System Transform)
The baseConvert function lets you convert a number in one base (number system) to its
equivalent in another base.
Important!
• The baseConvert function works for positive integers only.
• The baseConvert function cannot be used in a line for which a particular number base is
specified. It can be used in a normal calculation line only.
Syntax: baseConvert (Number, Current base, Expected base)
• Number must be a positive integer consisting of digits 0 to 9 and/or A to F.
• The current base and expected base can be any whole number from 2 to 16.
Examples:
2-7-5
