OCT2HEX(number, places)
- Where 'number' is an octal number to be converted and
- 'places' is the number of characters to be used to display the output.
OCT2HEX() converts an octal number to its hexadecimal equivalent.
Description
OCT2HEX(number, places)
For Example,
OCT2HEX(300,4) returns 00C0
OCT2HEX(23,5.5) returns 000013
OCT2HEX(777,3) returns 1FF
- The 'number' can be upto 10 digits (30 bits). The most significant bit is the sign bit and remaining bits are magnitude bits.
- If 'number' is negative, Calci ignores the places and returns a 10 character (30 bit) hexadecimal number.
- If the 'number' is not an integer, Calci displays an #NUM! error message.
- If the 'number' is an invalid octal number, Calci displays an #NUM! error message.
- 'places' argument can be omitted. Calci displays the hexadecimal output with minimum number of characters necessary.
- 'places' is used for padding the output with leading '0's'.
- Calci ignores the 'places', if the output is more than mentioned 'places'.
- If the 'places' is non-numeric or negative, Calci displays an error message.
- If 'places' is not an integer, Calci truncates the 'places' value.
- A number preceding with '0' (e.g. 0377) should be written in text format ("0377") to avoid confusion with hexadecimal numbers.
