OCT2DEC(number, places)

places argument to be included in upcoming version

OCT2DEC() converts an octal number to a decimal number.

Description

OCT2DEC(number)

For example,

OCT2DEC("100") returns 64 as a result.

OCT2DEC("500") returns '320' as a result.

This function is used to convert an octal number to a decimal number.
The $number$ should be in the range '7777777000' for negative numbers (DEC -512) to '777' for positive numbers (DEC 511).
A number can be up to 10 characters (40 bits). The most significant bit is the sign bit and remaining are magnitude bits. A negative number is represented in 2's complement format.
If the $number$ is not a valid number, 'Calci' returns an #N/A error message.
A number preceding with '0' (e.g 013) should be written in text format ("013") to avoid confusion with hexadecimal numbers.
If $number$ is not an integer, Calci truncates the value to calculate the output.

Below are few examples that show the use of combination of functions and get the result in decimal -

1)SUM(OCT2DEC("65"), OCT2DEC("11")) returns 62 as a result.

2)OCT2DEC("654") - OCT2DEC("54") returns 384 as a result.
