[jira] Closed: (MATH-155) Number Base Conversion

["James Carman (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-155?page=all ]

James Carman closed MATH-155.
-----------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix
      Assignee: James Carman

This functionality is provided by the core JDK's java.math.BigDecimal API.  It would be trivial to create a "helper" method that looks like this:

public String convert( String value, int originalBase, int targetBase )
{
  return new java.math.BigDecimal( value, originalBase ).toString( targetBase );
}

> I think a maths package without a base conversion utility is quite incomplete.
> Would request you to include this feature in the package for the next release.
> From a user's perspective I would like to have a library that goes beyond the usual binary,octal,hexadecimal conversions.
> Would really be helpful if the library is very generic so as to support
> convert(Base from,Base to) calls.
> Pls let me know what you feel about this.Currently i am on the lookout for a base conversion class etc but haven't managed to hit upon anything that serves my purpose.
