HEX2OCT(number,places)

HEX2OCT converts a hexadecimal number to its octal equivalent.

For Example,

HEX2OCT("A",4) returns 0012

HEX2OCT("FA",6) 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.

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

If $places$ is negative, Calci ignores the places and uses the minimum number of digits required to display the octal output.

If $places$ is omitted, Calci displays the 10 digit octal output by adding the leading zeros (if required).

If $places$ is less than the digits required by the output, Calci ignores the places and uses the minimum number of digits required to display the octal output.
