New page

<pre>
Oct( <string> )
</pre>

=== Description ===

Converts an octal string into the numerical corresponding value.

An octal number is preceded by a 0 and contains digits from 0 to 7 only. By calling the oct() function, there are two particular cases here – the expression will be interpreted as a hexadecimal string if begins wit 0x and as a binary string if it begins with 0b.

If you want to convert numbers in or from a binary, octal or hexadecimal format you need to write them as literals, otherwise no automatic conversion will take place.

The leading white spaces from the expression string will be omitted.

=== Parameters ===

==== string ====

The string to use.

=== Return Value ===

Octal numerical corresponding value of the input string.

=== Remarks ===

None.

=== Example ===

<syntaxhighlight lang="sputnik">
print oct(77), "\n"; # it prints 63

print oct('77'), "\n"; # it prints 63

print oct('077'), "\n"; # it prints 63

print oct(077), "\n"; # it prints 51
# because 077 is an octal number, first it will
# be converted to a decimal number, i.e. 63 and next
# oct(63) means 51

print oct('2382'), "\n"; # it prints 19
# this statement will throw a warning error
# because 8 is not a digit in the octal base; however,
# the rest of digits starting with 8 will be ignored and the oct
# function will convert the octal number 23 in decimal

print oct('0x77'), "\n"; # it prints 119
# ' 0x77' is considered the hexadecimal number 77;
# converted in decimal this means 119;
# the leading spaces are ignored

print oct('0b101'), "\n"; # it prints 5
# '0b101' is considered the binary number 101;
# converted in decimal this means 5
