# BASE

Converts a positive integer to a specified base into a text from the numbering system. The digits 0-9 and the letters A-Z are used.

#### Syntax

BASE(Number; Radix [; MinimumLength])

Number is the positive integer to be converted.

Radix indicates the base of the numeral system. It may be any positive integer between 2 and 36.

MinimumLength (optional) determines the minimum length of the character sequence that has been created. If the text is shorter than the indicated minimum length, zeros are added to the left of the string.

For Integer arguments, non-integer values are truncated to Integer.

#### Example

=BASE(17;10;4) returns 0017 in the decimal system.

=BASE(17;2) returns 10001 in the binary system.

=BASE(255;16;4) returns 00FF in the hexadecimal system.
