I slightly modified your program, not because it is not good enough but to make it better readable.
Instead of a CAS variable like
tmp586605323013 it uses the CAS variable
tmp.
Code:
EXPORT basecalc()
BEGIN
local maxdigits:=20; // maximum number of digits for frac part
local j,k,t,run:=1;
local b1:=10;
local b2:=16;
local d:=0;
local n:="";
local ds:="";
local r;
local var:="";
local ipn:=""; // integer part of n
local fpn:=""; // frac part of n
local digits:="0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
k:=size(r)-2;
while run do
t:=input(
{
{ n, [2], { 15, 80, 0 } },
{ b1, [0], { 25, 25, 1 } },
{ b2, [0], { 70, 25, 1 } },
{ maxdigits, [0], {25,25, 2 } }
},
"Base Converter",
{ "n=", "base1=", "base2=", "digits=" },
{
"Enter the integer",
"Enter the base of the integer n",
"Enter the base to convert to",
"Max allowable digits"
}
);
if t then //when pressed the OK menu key.
CAS("tmp:={0,0}"); //creation of global CAS variable with name tmp
k:=size(n);
if (k AND (b1 >= 2) AND (b2 <= 62)) then
j:=instring(n,".");
if j then
if (j-1>0) then ipn:=left(n,j-1); end;
if (k-j>0) then fpn:=right(n,k-j); end;
k:=j-2;
else
ipn:=n;
k:=size(n)-1;
end;
// k = largest exponent
//conversion of ipn to decimal form and storing it into tmp[1]:
t:=size(ipn);
for j from 1 to t do
ds:=mid(ipn,j,1);
d:=instring(digits,ds)-1;
if ((d >= b1) OR (d < 0)) then msgbox("Invalid digit: " + ds); j:=-1; break; end;
CAS("tmp[1]:=tmp[1]+d*b1^k");
k:=k-1;
end;
if (j == -1) then continue; end;
//k=-1 now!
//conversion of fpn to decimal form and storing it into tmp[2]:
t:=size(fpn);
for j from 1 to t do
ds:=mid(fpn,j,1);
d:=instring(digits,ds)-1;
if ((d >= b1) OR (d < 0)) then msgbox("Invalid digit: " + ds); j:=-1; break; end;
CAS("tmp[2]:=tmp[2]+d*b1^k");
k:=k-1;
end;
if (j == -1) then continue; end;
//tmp[2] contains a decimal number in the form of a fraction now.
n:="";
//conversion of tmp[1] to base b2 and storing it into n
t:=size(ipn);
if t then
k:=CAS("ip(ln(tmp[1])/ln(b2))"); //calculation of maximal power of b2
//which is less or equal to tmp[1]
for j from k downto 0 do
d:=CAS("ip(tmp[1]/(b2^j))");
ds:=mid(digits,d+1,1);
n:=n+ds;
CAS("tmp[1]:=tmp[1]-d*b2^j");
end;
end;
//conversion of tmp[2] to base b2 and storing it into n
t:=size(fpn);
if t then
n:=n+".";
for j from 1 to maxdigits do
d:=CAS("ip(tmp[2]*b2)");
CAS("tmp[2]:=tmp[2]*b2-d");
// floating point issue
if CAS("tmp[2]<0") then
CAS("tmp[2]:=tmp[2]+1");
d:=d-1;
end;

end;
end;

end;

END;
