Notes
Tiny rounding errors can occur when converting non-integer numbers from one base to another. These are too amall to affect the accuracy of most calculations and can occur in other mathimatical functions e.g.
( 1 ÷ 3 ) × 3 = 1
but most calculators will offer an answer similar to
0.99999

I have not locked or obtusified the JavaScript code used by this page and you are welcome to use your browsers view source feature. The key functions are ConvertFromBase() and ConvertToBase(). JavaScript has an unusual feature - it automatically converts text strings that only contains numbers into a base_10 numbers. This behaviour is not ideal when using other bases. The code adds a "#" to some strings to prevent automatic conversion. The additional "#" logic will not be required if you are translating to many of the other computer languages.
