How to transform large decimal number into HEX

[q099973]

Hallo ,

i have to transform a 20-sign decimal number into a HEX-number. Is works great with
"set i [format "%X" 32737]", but only for integers. How can I do it for large numbers???

Thanks
Franz

well, you can run "calc.exe" - put it into scientific view, select decimal format, type in the number, click the Hex button.

manarth,

You mean you don't do it by counting fingers and taking your shoes off in necessary?

I'm shocked.

What context are you looking for? How to do it using a particular programming language? In Excel? Or just a quick and easy way to do the calculation?

What do you mean by a 20 sign number? I learnt that numbers have 1 of 2 signs: + or - !
I'm presuming you mean a 20 digit number: 12345678901234567890
In which case I got a bit carried away because windows &quot;calc.exe&quot; doesn't seem to be able to handle numbers that long!
