|
22 ## Return a string of symbols in base @var{b} corresponding to the |
|
|
23 ## the nonnegative integer @var{n}. |
|
|
24 ## |
|
|
25 ## @example |
|
|
26 ## dec2base (123, 3) |
|
|
27 ## @result{} "11120" |
|
|
28 ## @end example |
|
|
29 ## |
|
|
30 ## If @var{n} is a vector, return a string matrix with one row per value, |
|
|
31 ## padded with leading zeros to the width of the largest value. |
|
|
32 ## |
|
|
33 ## If @var{b} is a string then the characters of @var{b} are used as |
|
|
34 ## the symbols for the digits of @var{n}. Space (' ') may not be used |
|
|
35 ## as a symbol. |
|
|
36 ## |
|
|
37 ## @example |
|
|
38 ## dec2base (123, "aei") |
|
|
39 ## @result{} "eeeia" |
|
|
40 ## @end example |
|
4492
|
41 ## |
|
|
42 ## The optional third argument, @var{len}, specifies the minimum |
|
|
43 ## number of digits in the result. |
