Template:From base 10

The following documentation is located at Template:From base 10/doc. [<Edit> Template:From base 10/doc]
[⧼Purge⧽ Template:From base 10]

The {{from base 10}} base conversion template converts a base 10 real number $\scriptstyle x_{10}\,$ into its positive integer base (radix) $\scriptstyle b\,\geq \,2\,$ representation $\scriptstyle x_{b}\,$, result for which each digit is represented either:

if 0 ≤ digit - offset < length of string

• as 0-indexed character (with index = digit - offset) from an optionally provided conversion string which defaults to

0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

else

• as integer surrounded by : (colon).

Currently supports up to 32 digits for integer part and up to 32 digits for fractional part.

Note: a special proviso has been made for the unary numeral system (base 1, sorf of...) for displaying as many tally marks (up to 100). No tally marks (empty string) for 0. And the luxury of a preceding - sign for negative numbers!

Usage

{{from base 10|a real number x₁₀ in base 10|a positive integer radix (base) b ≥ 2|an optional integer offset|an optional conversion string}}

Valid input

• First argument: a real number $\scriptstyle x_{10}\,$ (in base 10),
• Second argument: a positive integer base (radix) $\scriptstyle b\,\geq \,2\,$,
• Third argument: an optional offset as integer,
• Fourth argument: an optional conversion string.

Accuracy

Note that the best accuracy offered by Mediawiki is about 14 decimal digits, while 60 -7 = 2799360000000 -1 and 60 -8 = 167961600000000 -1.

Pi (base 60)

Pi in sexagesimal obtained via this template begets

{{from base 10|{{#expr: pi}}|60}} = 3.8Ti0lPr8aKe-520Km-32im-360000000000000
