Synopsis

Constants

Functions

fromBase :: (Integral base, Integral decimal, Read decimal) => base -> String -> decimalSource

  • Convert the String-representation of a number in the specified base, to a decimal integer.
  • Both negative numbers and negative bases are permissible.

toBase :: (Integral base, Integral decimal) => base -> decimal -> StringSource

  • Convert the specified integral decimal quantity, to an alternative base, and represent the result as a String.
  • Both negative decimals and negative bases are permissible.
  • The conversion to Char can only succeed where printable and intelligible characters exist to represent all digits in the chosen base; which in practice means (-36 <= base <= 36).
