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 a–z.
  • 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
    "ArabicExtended"extended Arabic numerals
    "Armenian"Armenian numerals
    "ArmenianLower"lowercase Armenian numerals

Basic Examples  (4)

Convert to binary, giving the result as a string:

Convert to Roman numerals:

Convert to Japanese financial numerals:

Convert to a base-64 representation:

Scope  (4)

In base 16, a through f are used as digits:

Use a MixedRadix specification:

Find only the last 2 characters:

Use a numsys as specification:

Generalizations & Extensions  (1)

The maximum base of 36 uses letters a through z:

Properties & Relations  (4)

ToUpperCase converts to uppercase letters:

FromDigits may be used as the inverse of IntegerString:

Not all numeric systems are supported by FromDigits:

This is the largest number representable in a mixed radix system with bases 1… 36:

Use the "Base64" alphabet to express an integer in powers of 64:
