Output:
a = 42 b = 60150
Example 2:
javascript
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <script> dec_to_bho = function (n, base) { if (n < 0) { n = 0xFFFFFFFF + n + 1; } switch (base) { case 'O': return parseInt(n, 10).toString(8); break; case 'P': return parseInt(n, 10).toString(8); break; case 'Q': return parseInt(n, 10).toString(8); break; default: return ("Wrong input"); } } console.log(dec_to_bho(20, 'O')); console.log(dec_to_bho(56789, 'P')); console.log(dec_to_bho(321, 'Q')); </script> </body> </html> |
Output:
