Defensive Bases This month we are having a go at some "defensive programming"; in other words trying to write a program that can handle errors. This converts a number from denary into the output base, getting the digits from the string "DIGITS" (see next page).
Sorry the scripts are in a funny order this month - space is tight!
The "get_base" Script This part of the code allows you to set the input and output base for the program to use. It won't allow you to enter a number less than 2 or greater than 16. This will help to avoid some really strange (and incorrect) results.
Hex Joke! If only DEAD people understand hexadecimal, how many people understand hexadecimal?
