How can I convert numbers to strings (the opposite of atoi)? Is there an itoa function?
Infrequently Asked Questions in comp.lang.cThere's frequently an itoa function. Better yet, write your own; it'll be good practice. On some implementations, (char *) x; will convert x to a string.
How do I convert strings to numbers?
Java FAQsYou can convert strings into numbers using the Integer, Float, Double and Long type wrapper classes as indicated by the following code snippet:
How serialize/unserialize simple types like numbers, characters, strings, etc.?
Serialization and Unserialization, C++ FAQ LiteThe answer depends on your decision regarding human-readable ("text") format vs. non-human-readable ("binary") format:
How do you convert hexadecimal, binary, and decimal numbers?
Math Forum: Ask Dr. Math FAQ: Number BasesFirst, be sure you understand exactly what numbers mean in the old familiar decimal system. If I write 3409, what it really means is 3*1000 + 4*100 + 0*10 + 9*1... I can also write it as: 3*103 + 4*102 + 0101 + 9*100 (remember that 100 = 1). Now there's nothing magic about 10 - it was chosen because we happen to have 10 fingers. If humans had 7 fingers, you can bet that we'd be writing numbers like this: 3204 = 3*73 + 2*72 + 071 + 4*70.
How many strings?
alt.guitar.bass - THE WEBSITE!I've got to be careful here..... Four and, more recently, five string basses have become the most common instruments. However, there are many people that use 6 and 7 string basses (I've seen a 9 string, so there are many varieties not mentioned here). None are inherently better than the others. I'm starting to sound like a broken record, but try as many as you can and decide for yourself.
Can I pass strings of unicode instance to gtk or do I need to convert them to utf8?
PyGTK FAQ IndexI want to understand this "data" object that is used in the set_*_data() and get_*_data() calls.
API I want to use requires descriptors, but I've used C strings. How do I convert between them?
Descriptors FAQQuite. Just about every Symbian OS C++ API you come across will use descriptors for transferring text and binary data somewhere, so if you've used C strings, you are going to have a problem using these APIs. You'll have to do the conversion every time you want to use an API call requiring a descriptor, which is inefficient. So you might as well keep reading, and learn how to use descriptors correctly.
How do I use dice to create random strings of letters and numbers?
Diceware Passphrase FAQJust roll dice twice for each character and then use this table: First Roll 1 2 3 4 5 6 S 1 A B C D E F e 2 G H I J K L c 3 M N O P Q R o 4 S T U V W X n 5 Y Z 0 1 2 3 d 6 4 5 6 7 8 9 If you only want letters, roll the dice again when ever you get a digit. Each random letter adds 4.7 bits of entropy.
Is there a simple way to convert from binary (base 2) numbers to hexadecimal (base 16) numbers?
Math Forum: Ask Dr. Math FAQ: Number BasesA big part of the reason that we use hexadecimal is that it is relatively easy to convert between binary and hexadecimal. Hexadecimal numbers are closely related to binary, but they are shorter and easier to read than binary. Group the binary digits into groups of 4 starting from the right...
Why do strings break?
Tennis Strings by Silent PartnerThe primary reason strings break is that "main" strings rub against "cross" strings when the ball is hit with spin. Gradually, this rubbing cuts a notch in the main string. When the notch gets deep enough the string cannot withstand the stretch caused by a strong shot, and it breaks. The thicker the string, the deeper the notch it will tolerate before breaking. That's why thicker strings last longer than thinner strings.
How do I convert report fields that display scientific notation in preview to standard numbers?
Frequently Asked Questions for Calibration Manager 2xTo translate Pre-Deviation and Post-Deviation measurement fields to a real number instead of Scientific Notation, create the following formulas: When inserting "PreDeviation", instead of Selecting Insert|Database Field to place the field on the report design, select Insert|Formula Field and insert "PreCal Dev to Number".
How do I convert the Motorola style Hex numbers to "Uniden" TrunkTracker style?
FAQIf you have Windows use the Scientific mode of the Windows Calculator. Put in the 3 digit Hex number in the Hex field, add a trailing 0, and then click the DEC button. If you have a 4 digit Hex number that ends in anything other than a 0 then change the last character to 0. The same works in reverse.
Can you explain how to convert binary fractions to decimal numbers, e.g. 0.00011001100110011001...?
Math Forum: Ask Dr. Math FAQ: Number BasesHow do you convert numbers to base 16 numbers? Please use the following numbers in an example: 411213 and 38015. Here's one way to think about other bases. If you were given 3 hundred-dollar bills and 4 ten-dollar bills and 2 one-dollar bills you would have 342 dollars. We can just "glue" the 3 and the 4 and the 2 together because our decimal number system is based on tens.
How do I convert numbers from one base to another without converting to a base 10 equivalent first?
Math Forum: Ask Dr. Math FAQ: Number BasesGiven a binary number you start by grouping the binary "1" and "0" digits in groups of 3, starting at the right. Then convert each of these groups into one octal digit. In the base six number system, you would never use the numeral 7, only numerals from 0 to 5.
How do you convert very large binary numbers like 2^50 to base 10?
Math Forum: Ask Dr. Math FAQ: Number BasesThere are two basic methods for converting whole numbers from binary (or any other base) to base 10. Here are the two methods, used to convert the binary number 11001 to base 10... - Doctor Greenie In a parallel universe, the numbering system in use is based on the 26-character Roman alphabet. A is the number ), B is the number 1, C is the number 2, and so on, through Z is the number 25... This problem revolves around an understanding how different bases work..
