A standard RETRO image only supports decimal base numbers. This
|
|
shows a way to add support for multiple bases.
|
|
|
|
I begin by creating a variable for the current base and words to
|
|
set this to specific values quickly.
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
#10 'Base var<n>
|
|
|
|
:decimal #10 !Base ;
|
|
:binary #2 !Base ;
|
|
:octal #8 !Base ;
|
|
:hex #16 !Base ;
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
Next, a string constant with the symbols for each digit. Note that
|
|
I'm only going to support uppercase for hexadecimal.

'0123456789ABCDEF 'DIGITS s:const

So conversion to a numeric value is pretty easy. The basic idea
|
|
here is:
|
|
|
|
- set a variable to hold the numeric value to zero (as a stating point)
|
|
- check to see if the first character is - for negative, set a modifier
|
|
- for each character in the string:
|
|
|
|
- convert to a numeric value (in this case, it's the index in the
|
|
DIGITS string)
|
|
- Multiply the last value of the number accumulator by the base
|
|
- Add the converted value
|
|
- Store the result in the number accumulator
|
|
|
|
- Multiply the final number by the modifier
|
|

|

:convert (c-) &DIGITS swap s:index-of @Number @Base * + !Number ;
|
|
:check-sign (s-s) dup fetch $- eq? [ #-1 !Mod n:inc ] [ #1 !Mod ] choose ;
|
|
---reveal---
|
|
:s:to-number<with-base> (s-n)
|
|
#0 !Number check-sign [ convert ] s:for-each @Number @Mod * ;
|
|
}}
|
|

|
|
Going the other way, back to a string, follows a similar process.
|
|
|
|
- Take a value
|
|
- Repeat:
|
|
- Divide by `Base`
|
|
- Convert result to character and append to a buffer
|
|
- If remainder is not zero, repeat
|
|
- If number is negative, append the '-' symbol to the buffer
|
|
- Reverse the buffer contents to return a string in the correct order
