    Number System !!!

    I want to do like this:

    cin >> hex >> num;
    cout << num ;
    cout << dec << num;

    cin >> oct >> n;
    cout << n;

    cin >> base(3) >> nnn;
    cout << base(19) << nn;

    What I have to do? Have you any code ???

    You can search the board and probably find some reasonable approaches. When I did this I set up a system whereby I could convert any base to base 10 and then from base 10 to any base, but I'm sure there are different approaches.

    I wrote an example program for this, but I don't have it here at work... I can post it this evening (California time).

    The decimal, hex, octal input/output is easy using cout. There is a standard function for getting input in (almost) any base [strtoul() = string-to-long]. There is a non-standard function with the Microsoft compiler to display in (almost) any base... I don't remember what it's named.

    Hello!

    Code:
    #include<iostream.h>
    #include<iomanip.h>
    #include<stdlib.h>
    #include<string.h>
    
    int main()
    {
       char str[20];
       unsigned long int n;
    
       while(cin.getline(str,20))
       {
       	if(str[0]=='0' && str[1]=='x')
          {
             char s[20];
    
             for(int i=2;i<strlen(str);++i)
             	s[i-2]=str[i];
    
          	n = atol(s);
             cout << dec << n << endl;
          }
          else if(str[0]=='-')
          {
          	return 0;
          }
          else
          {
          	n = atol(str);
             cout << "0x";
             cout << hex << n << endl;
          }
          str[0]=0;
          n=0;
       }
    
    	return 0;
    }
    It was working but when the first segment converting hex to dec is not working as it only takes dec form and converts it to oct or hex. any suggestion. ???

    >>n = atol(s);
    That won't work. It only works for base 10. You're gonna have to write your own function to go from hex->decimal.

    Here's a base converter I just threw together quickly. It can convert between bases 2-36.

    This has a C example, but the strtol() function can be used in C++ too.
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
