The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Problem on coverting from one number system to another

Asked by vm6580_ee1 in Math & Science, FORTRAN

Tags: coverting, convert

Hi folks.

I am making a program where mathematical operations have no limit. That is a data type whic h supports mathematical operations  but has no limit.

This is being done using linklists.

Now I made it with every node holding a digit. Number system of 10.

But large computations are taking alot of time.
To quicken the process, I have decided to use a higher number system.

For exmaple if I switch from a number system of 10 to say 256 ( that is every node holding a value 0-255 and any number  being represented as 256^n + 256^n-1.......+256^1+256^0).  My addtions and subtracts and therefore all my computations speed increase.

If I go on to a number system of 65536 even better

My problem arises when I have to see the results is a human understandable ( i.e. 10 0r 16 number system ) form.

All the algorithms I now use the absolute value of the number.
wHAT i NEED IS AN algo which can convert say a 256 number system value into a 10 number system value taking one or two "256 digit" at a time.

I hope you get my problem.

Vikram

What i need is an algorithm
