Number-system conversion in Matlab -

i wrote following program matlab converts numbers decimal-system other systems base 2 (binary) through 16 (hexademical). faced problems when program translates systems, starting base 10. in case remainder must written in way, 10=a, 11=b , on. how possible make it? should use switch-case purpose? thank you!

clc clear dec = input('dec='); n = input('select number system n='); if n>=2 && n<=16     = 0;     p=dec;     while p>0         dec=p;         = + 1;         p = fix(dec/n);         r = mod(dec, n);         base(i) = num2str(r);     end     base = fliplr(base);     disp(['base=' num2str(base)]); else     disp('error'); end 

this function exists builtin dec2base. if have @ source code via

edit dec2base 

you see function builds vector of numbers first , uses index character array symbols = '0123456789abcdefg...'. use same approach instead of num2str. base(i) = symbols(r+1) should it.

btw:

• in disp line using num2str on string.
• instead of using disp('error'), produce error message via error('choose base b 2<=b<=16').
• instead of base(i) use base(end+1) = ... rid of variable i.
