I use 'dc' for this sort of task, for example:
plum:~$ dc Invoke the program
16 push 16 on the stack
i pop 16 from the stack and set it as the input radix
11A push 0x11A o

This is undefined. main should return an int.

You'll find it in any C manual, or try "man strtol" for the strtol() function.
If all you want is to convert to decimal, use this short C-program:
#include
void main(int argc, char **argv)
{
while (*++argv) pr

As mentioned in an other mail, it's 10. There are no base 1 #s @all as 1^r for
all r is still 1 (besids you have always base# of digits starting with 0)

This is in base 16, so:

Thanks for the correction:
0x is hex, 0 is octal.

No, decimal is radix 10 (base 10). Binary is base 2.

In written language the base is used as a subsript to the

No. 0x "always" means that a hexadecimal number follows.
Ocal is "traditionally" indicated by having a leading zero but
no x. Outside contexts where one KNOWS that this convent

0x11A is in hex, and to convert it to dec is
1*16^2 + 1*16^1 +10*16^0
(A=10,B=11, C=12, D=13, E=14, F=15)
I may be wrong, but I think octal is in x0# format, so that
0x0300 would be an octal number.

0x0123 is if i don't reccall wrong the way to represent an octal number.
In that case you get it's decimal number this way.
123 base 8 is (3*8^0 + 2*
