    Unhappy Base Converter

    Hi guys, I'm kinda new in C Programming and I was just wondering if you guys could help me out on this one. I was asked by my prof to make a base converter that would convert a number from one base to another. The program should receive the source base, the input number, and the destination base. The output is supposedly a number in the base specified. Please I don't have any idea how to start it off...Please just give me a few ideas...tnx....oh by the way directions on us also prohibits the use of other libraries other than the standard input/output libs....please please please give me some ideas....thanks in advance!!!

    Study how you would input and output a number in base 10.

    Once you know how the idea of base works in the representation of numbers, then the rest is easy.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
