BASE - Basically Speaking |
The Really Neato Calculator Company, Inc. has recently hired your team to help design their Super Neato Model I calculator. As a computer scientist you suggested to the company that it would be neato if this new calculator could convert among number bases. The company thought this was a stupendous idea and has asked your team to come up with the prototype program for doing base conversion. The project manager of the Super Neato Model I calculator has informed you that the calculator will have the following neato features:
- It will have a 7-digital display.
- Its buttons will include the capital letters A through F in addition to the digits 0 through 9.
- It will support bases 2 through 16.
The output will only be the converted number as it would appear on the display of the calculator. The number should be right justified in the 7-digit display. If the number is to large to appear on the display, then print ``ERROR'' (without the quotes) right justified in the display.
A sample input file is shown here:
1111000 2 10 1111000 2 16 2102101 3 10 2102101 3 15 12312 4 2 1A 15 2 1234567 10 16 ABCD 16 15
The following output file should be produced from the above sample input:
