program in labview that converts a number of any base to a number of any other base

[rasagna]

hie

i want some idea abt how to write a program in labview to convert a number from 1 base to another base....

plz help me out...........

• Are you having problems with the "math" of it or are you having problems translating it into LabVIEW?
• What have you tried so far?
• What problems did you encounter?
• Are you only interested in integers or are fractions allowed?

First you need to decide how to represent the numbers. If you are only dealing with relatively small bases, it might be sufficient to use a truncated subset of 0..Z as digits. However, if you e.g. want base50000, you probably want to represent it as an array of numbers or similar. You also need error checking for the inputs, e.g. if a base5 number contains an "8", something's wrong.

Is this a homework assignment?

hiee...

i have the mathematical concept abt it,but i want to know how to implement it in labview.

ya this is an assignment question.

i havent started programming in labview yet...........

plz kindly give me idea how to begin actually.....

It does not make sense to get such an assigment, unless some LabVIEW basics have been covered in class already.

Maybe you should start with a tutorial. For example check out the following links.

I have to agree 100% with altenbach, I would suggest starting with a tutorial and begin actual programming.

If you run into problems with that, we will do our best to help you, but helping with concepts is best learned from tutorials.
