Re: [R] Conversion to Binary (base2)

Since I have to teach number base conversion within 2 weeks, I could not resist:

numberInBase <- function(number,base){
  numberInBaseRecur<-function(number,base){     lastDigit<-function(number,base) number %% base     if (number == 0) result <- c(0)
    else result <- c(numberInBaseRecur(number %/% base,base),

                     lastDigit(number,base))

makeDigitSeq <- function(digiseq){
  digits <- c(as.character(0:9),LETTERS)   paste(sapply(digiseq,function(x)digits[x+1]),collapse="") }

makeDigitSeq(numberInBase(21,2))
probably does what you want.

This works up to base 36.
