toBase

Description

Converts a number into its string representation in a specified base.

For example, converting 10 into base 16 results in "a".

Syntax

Like many functions in DataPrime, toBase supports two notations, function and method notation. These interchangeable forms allow flexibility in how you structure expressions.

toBase(number: number, radix: number): string

(number: number).toBase(radix: number): string

Arguments

Example

Use case: Convert numbers to hexadecimal

Transform a decimal value into a hexadecimal string for representation or further processing.

Example data

{
    "val": 10
}

Example query

create val_hex from toBase(val, 16)

create val_hex from val.toBase(16)

Example output

{
    "val": 10,
    "val_hex": "a"
}
