HEX2OCT(number,places)

• Where 'number' is a hexadecimal number to be converted and
• 'places' is the number of characters to be used to display the output.

HEX2OCT converts a hexadecimal number to its octal equivalent.

Description

HEX2OCT(number,places)

For Example,

HEX2OCT("A",4) returns '0012

HEX2OCT("FA") returns 000372

HEX2OCT("09") returns 0000000011

• 'number' must be a hexadecimal number. Hexadecimal number uses digits 0 to 9 and characters A to F. The number can also be entered in text format (e.g "1F").

• The most significant bit represents the 'sign' of the number. Negative numbers are represented using 2's complement notation.

• A number preceding with '0' (e.g 013) should be written in text format ("013") to avoid confusion with octal numbers.

• Calci returns an #ERROR message if 'number' contains more than 10 characters (10 bits).

Need to verify the 'limit for no. of input digits' after next release

• If 'number' is negative, Calci ignores the places and displays 10 digit octal output.

• If 'places' is not an integer, it is truncated.

• If 'places' are non-numeric, Calci returns an #ERROR message.

• If 'places' is negative, Calci ignores the places and displays the octal output.

• If 'places' is omitted, Calci displays a 10 digit octal output.
