zil-numbers

Demonstrates how to get numbers from user input using READLINE. It can also be used with different bases, e.g. base 2, 10, 16, etc, up to base 36 (using characters a-z for numbers greater than 10)

POWER (BASE EXP)

• Computes BASE^EXP (or BASE to EXP-th power)
• Can only handle positve values for EXP and 0.
• Recursive

CONVERT-TO-NUMBER (N "OPT" BASE)

• Converts the N-th word of the user input to integer. To be used after calling READLINE
• If BASE is not provided, it defaults to 10.
• actual conversion is done by GET-DIGIT and TO-INTEGER routines
