[TI-8x] Help Optimizing Conversion Program
« on: June 30, 2011, 09:13:38 pm »
I really didn't know how to do this, so I did it the long way, how could optimizing this be done? Its to convert Octodecimal (Base 18) to Decimal (Base 10):

Code: [Select]
length(Str1)->O
For(I,1,O)
sub(Str1,I,1)->Str2
If (Str2="0")
R+(0*18^(O-I))->R
If (Str2="1")
R+(1*18^(O-I))->R
If (Str2="2")
R+(2*18^(O-I))->R
If (Str2="3")
R+(3*18^(O-I))->R
If (Str2="4")
R+(4*18^(O-I))->R
If (Str2="5")
R+(5*18^(O-I))->R
If (Str2="6")
R+(6*18^(O-I))->R
If (Str2="7")
R+(7*18^(O-I))->R
If (Str2="8")
R+(8*18^(O-I))->R
If (Str2="9")
R+(9*18^(O-I))->R
If (Str2="A")
R+(10*18^(O-I))->R
If (Str2="B")
R+(11*18^(O-I))->R
If (Str2="C")
R+(12*18^(O-I))->R
If (Str2="D")
R+(13*18^(O-I))->R
If (Str2="E")
R+(14*18^(O-I))->R
If (Str2="F")
R+(15*18^(O-I))->R
If (Str2="G")
R+(16*18^(O-I))->R
If (Str2="H")
R+(17*18^(O-I))->R
End

Well, if the character in the string is a [decimal] number, then you can just use expr(Str2) to get the digit, so what you want to do is put the code for A-H first and if none of those match, use expr. Oh, and you can use else ifs instead of all but the first if.

Thanks Runer112, your code works so much (in IRC)

Code: [Select]
Input "Octodec: ",Str1
length(Str1)->O
For(I,1,O)
inString("0123456789ABCDEFGH",sub(Str1,I,1))-1->A
(A*18^(O-I))+R->R
End
Disp R
Pause

A slightly cheap way that I use is make a string called "0123456789ABCDEFGH" then use another for loop with sub( to find it in that string, then that should be the equivalent number.
