IntegerString

IntegerString[n]

gives a string consisting of the decimal digits in the integer n.

IntegerString[n,b]

gives a string consisting of the base-b digits in the integer n.

IntegerString[n,b,len]

pads the string on the left with zero digits to give a string of length len.

IntegerString[n,MixedRadix[blist]]

uses the mixed radix with a list of bases blist.

IntegerString[n,"numsys"]

gives the numeral form of n based on the numeric system defined by "numsys".

Details

  • The maximum allowed base is 36. For bases larger than 10, additional digits are chosen from the letters az.
  • IntegerString[n] discards the sign of n.
  • If len is less than the number of digits in n, then the len least significant digits are returned.
  • In IntegerString[n,"numsys"], possible human-use numeric systems "numsys" include:
  • "Arabic"Arabic numerals
