Hi all,

here are two vanilla abstraction to convert to and from decimal and binary numbers. For now it works only for positive numbers, and the binary numbers are treated as lists of zeros and ones, mostly because that's what I need but also because I don't know how to group them together to form a float. If somebody knows how to do it I'd be interested in seeing that (although I'm not sure having a binary number as a float would make sense).

decimal2binary.zip

@weightless It can always be done....... mod.zip
but as you say, probably pointless.
No doubt "mod.zip" can be simplified though......

You should be able to do the padding and inversion for 2's compliment within my mod...... I think......maybe?..... using [list length] and a counter to bang in the zeros, and inversion where dripping.

@whale-av Very nice! Yes, it's definitely pointless in this patch but I'm sure on other occasions this trick will be very handy, thanks.

This is just one way, but to any system: https://forum.pdpatchrepo.info/topic/10856/baseconverter-convert-decimal-to-any-number-system

@ingox Thanks! That's a great patch. As a matter of fact, I was looking for this patch before I made mine but I couldn't find it, and didn't remember its name. Maybe I'll try to see if it can be done the other way as well, any system to decimal without it being too complex.
