Oct, Oct$ (functions)
Syntax
Oct[$](number)
Description
Returns a String containing the octal equivalent of the specified number.
Comments
Oct$ returns a String, whereas Oct returns a String variant.
The returned string contains only the number of octal digits necessary to represent the number.
The number parameter is any numeric expression. If this parameter is Null, then Null is
returned. Empty is treated as 0. The number parameter is rounded to the nearest whole number
before converting to the octal equivalent.
Example
This example accepts a number and displays the decimal and octal 'equivalent until the input
number is 0 or invalid.
Const crlf = Chr$(13) + Chr$(10)
Sub Main()
Do
xs$ = InputBox("Enter a number to convert:","Octal Convert")
x = Val(xs$)
If x <> 0 Then
MsgBox "Decimal: " & x & "
Octal: " & Oct(x)
Else
MsgBox "Goodbye."
End If
Loop While x <> 0
End Sub
