(3) A function for converting numbers to their base-12 representation.
For integers, this can be done with:
DIGITS = "0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ" def itoa(num, radix=10): is_negative = False if num < 0: is_negative = True num = -num digits = [] while num >= radix: num, last_digit = divmod(num, radix) digits.append(DIGITS[last_digit]) digits.append(DIGITS[num]) if is_negative: digits.append("-") digits.reverse() return ''.join(digits)
I see this works perfectly for integers. Thanks!
For a floating-point number x, the representation with d "decimal" places count be found by taking the representation of int(round(x * radix ** d)) and inserting a "." d places from the right.
But I'm sorry, but I can't follow you. I do have the first 10000 or so places of pi base 10 (<http://mathwithmrherte.com/pi_digits.htm>), but could you show me what to do with, say, just 3.14159?
I apologize for being so dense.
