Ok.. bug fixed...

Final score (I think):

270!!!

I wish I could post my code now.. I'm at home and I'll be at work tomorrow.. (I hate messing with diskettes..)

Cripes - I wish YOU could post YOUR script too ! Can't wait to see it. There is no way I'm going to shave 20+ strokes off mine any time soon, so its all up to Howard now, or maybe someone else is lurking in the background (hee-hee-hawwww) ...

I must gracefully concede

I might just have to go back to the drawing board. With the required name, I'm at 355. [Frown]

Don't concede just yet.. just for the heck of it i tried some other numbers.... i found it isn't accurate 100% because the FIX function in 4.10rc2 doesn't work quite right... so now I'm fiddling with it again.

Well, Im using the fix() function too, so maybe mine isn't working 100% either, but I did try a few conversions ...

Can you provide sopme examples and some answers, so that we all can try ?

question guys, can any of your routines handle base's bigger than 36 ?

Hmm. this is weird.. I can get it so things seem to work for some conversions but not others. I don't know what the deal is with that, but I'm still working on it.

Okay.. it seems to be working correctly now.

Once I realized that FIX, INT, and RND don't work well for double floating point numbers, I figured it out... but.. now my score is.....

267!!! (If I remove the variable declaration I MAY not need, it's 263)

Brian

{edit}
Mine has no debugging code, so it won't know if you're entering invalid numbers.. I didn't see it as a requirement.. should it be?

Ok.. here are some values returned.. so anyone can check and see if theirs matches (or if they are correct)

code:
BaseConverter("35","10","3") ?
BaseConverter("78","11","13") ?
BaseConverter("2","3","2") ?
BaseConverter("23423","5","12") ?
BaseConverter("BrianTX","36","10")
Result:
1022
67
10
100A
25607922981
-----

This is with the score of 267.

Brian, mine match. but I can't seem to get lower than 309.

Verify that your base 2 works:

BaseConverter("64","8","2") = 110100
BaseConverter("52","10","2") = 110100

Just out of curiosity, I tested how large of numbers the script can handle....

Base 36 - 10 long
Base 10 - 15 long
Base 2 - 50 long

Brian

P.S.... Are you participating or judging, sealeopard? Would you like to see my code?

Do you do any sort of error checking? If I was going to publish this UDF, I'd probably check to make sure the inputs were valid, but I did no such checking on this one.

At 267 I sure hope there is no error checking. Otherwise, I'm a really bad coder.

No proper UDF would be constructed under these rules.

Hey if I don't count my Function/Endfunction lines I'm at 267. Brian, you are counting those aren't you?

Hmm. without the Function/EndFunction lines I get 219. With them I get 261.

I seriously doubt my code can be further optimized..... so I'm about to quit.. good luck guys! [Smile]

Brian:

I will be participating if I can find some quiet time at work. I'm still repairing my home computer which now insists on using drive letter I: as the system drive (no other partitions active).

I already have an idea for the code myself, so I do have to decline to see your code. But I am already looking forward to tomorrow afternoon whne everybody is allowed to post code. I am very curious about the different methods everybody is using.

Also, I have to say, I am very impressed by the participation, I already told my wife that I created a monster. She has read the whole thread and would love to give it a shot too, but she doesn't know KiXtart (she's taking C++ programming classes, though).

It's been fun, Jens!

I really don't think I can squeeze my code down any more.

How many hours does everyone have to beat 261 ?

Something like 12?

Brian:

There are still 18 hours left before the code gets posted. I also expect that some people might join the fray tomorrow morning when they come to work. Not everybody is checking the BBS on weekends.

Another thought that came to mind. Since nearly everybody experimented with KiXtart 4.10RC2 could you please be so nice and report the problems with floating point math (FIX, INT, RND) in the beta forum if you necountered any. I think Ruud will be delighted to hear about our little coding frenzy and the potentially new bugs.
