Question

**Hey i was working on an application which converts any basenumber like (2,8,10,16,etc) to user’s desire base system. I am having a problem in converting a binary number to its octal number can anyone help me out?

I tried everthing like

// i am taking a binary number in value and then converting it to base 8

Int32 value = int.Parse(convertnumber);                           
Console.WriteLine(Convert.ToString(value, 8));

For example:
value =10011

Answer should be this “23” but using the above code i am getting “23433”

Answer 1

string binary = "10011";
int integer = Convert.ToInt32(binary, 2);
Console.WriteLine(Convert.ToString(integer, 8));

Output: 23

In this example we convert the binary string representation to an integer and from an integer to the octal string representation.
