A 0 dependency simple tool for displaying strings of various number notations
I wanted to learn how to convert from one number notation to another as a string. You can already very simply display a number in different notations in rust by specifying a formatter like so:
let number = my_string.parse::<u32>().unwrap(); // assume my_string is a valid number
println!("{:b}", number); // binary
println!("{:o}", number); // octal
println!("{:x}", number); // hexadecimalThis tool is therefore redundant if all you want to do is display a number in a different notation. It does instead serve as a nice learning experience for how to do the conversion in a mostly string based way.
First ensure you have Rust installed (best to use rustup).
Then:
git clone https://github.com/auronandace/number_notation_conversion
cd number_notation_conversion
cargo install --path .
