I do have code somewhere for converting decimal to any base using one symbol for going beyond 9 for digits eh the alphabet but you do run out of symbols to act as digits pretty quick.
2 digits ???
how 'bout 2 lines to rep one digit you can start to stack symbols over symbols.
Oh I know use an array() and index so you wont even be limited to 2 digits!!!
However big your array is how many symbols you can use!
BTW what would the purpose be for a huge base like 1K of symbols, base 1024 ?
Would that help speed up our string math?
I don't know probably not
the conversion time would slow it down a bit
CHARACTER SET? CHINEESE has a lot of character!! maybe you or I can encode chinese just for fun and challenge? 430 characters might not encode all of chinese but the 430 most common chinese chars mig alow you to comunbucate litttle better? with a chineese?
