BASE CONVERTER CODING PROJECT

1. Using the algorithm given below, write a C# program that takes any number in any base (between 2 and 16) and converts it to base 10.

Value = 0;

Repeat

Value = (value * N) + [next digit];

Until (no digit remains)

Example: Convert 2F3A (base 16) to decimal

Initialization: value = 0

First pass: value = (value * 16) + 2 = 2

Second pass: value = (2 * 16) + F = 47

Third pass: value = (47 * 16) + 3 = 755

Fourth pass: value = (755 * 16) + A = 12090

Answer = value = 12090 (base 10)

2. Using the algorithm given below, write a C program that converts base 10 numbers to any given base (between 2 & 16).

value = [value to be converted];

repeat

next digit of result = value % N;

value = value / N;

until (value = 0);

Example: Convert 12090 base 10 from decimal to hexadecimal. Program returns modulus

1^st pass: next digit = [12090] % 16 = 10 {A}

Value = [12090] / 16 = 755

2^nd pass: next digit = [755] % 16 = 3

Value = [755] / 16 = 47

3^rd pass: next digit = [47] % 16 = 15 {F}

Value = 47 / 16 = 2

4^th pass: next digit = [2] % 16 = 2

Value = [2] / 16 = 0 {breaks}

Answer = 2F3A (base 16)

3. Program needs to be user friendly and should ask user for input and then displays the result.
