Change numeric base using Python

Hello,

How to change the numeric base of a number? This is a implementation in Python.

[code lang=”python”]
def convert(decimal,newBase,str,letters):
if decimal >= newBase:
x = decimal % newBase
y = decimal / newBase
str = letters[x] + str
if y < newBase: str = letters[y] + str return convert(y,newBase,str,letters) else: if len(str) == 0: str = letters[decimal] + str return str let = "0123456789ABCDEF" print convert(17,16,"",let) [/code] The variable let means what values used in the base. For an example if you want binary you should replace with 01. Matheus
