Instance Methods

%w(foo bar muffin).map do |word|

end
=> foo in base 10 is: 253394
=> bar in base 10 is: 227969
=> muffin in base 10 is: 140676922357

%w(253394 227969 140676922357).map do |int|
  "#{int} from base 10 is: #{@ayb.convert_from_base_10(int)}"
end
=> 253394 from base 10 is: foo
=> 227969 from base 10 is: bar
=> 140676922357 from base 10 is: muffin

"foo".from_base_78.to_base_32
=> "7NEI"

100011.from_base_3.to_base_11
=> "205"

"foo".from_base_56.from_base_7.to_base_8.to_base_72
=> "BAR"

"Zero".from_base_57.from_base_12.to_base_13.to_base_50
=> "WIng"

Note on Patches/Pull Requests¶ ↑

• Fork the project.

• Make your feature addition or bug fix.

• Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.

• Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)

• Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
