Getting Started

Compile With make

Go to the root folder which contains the Makefile and the src folder.

Just type the make command :

make

Generates the executable in the bin folder.

Compile Without make

Just type the make command :

gcc -g -std=c99 src/str.c src/input.c src/convert.c src/main.c -o bin/main

Generates the executable in the bin folder.

Run

Once the compilation has been validated, all that remains is to execute the compiled file which is in the bin folder. Just type the make command :

./bin/main

How to use

The program takes the operating mode as a parameter. There are two modes: Conversion from decimal base to a given base. Conversion from a given base to the decimal base.

Two modes of use redirect the output of a command via the pipe, or directly launch the program and enter the values.

# Using the pipe :
echo "5 2" | ./bin/main --from-decimal-to-any
echo "0101 2" | ./bin/main --from-any-to-decimal

# Input during execution :
./bin/main --from-decimal-to-any
5 2

./bin/main --from-any-to-decimal
0101 2

Example of input via redirect and vie direct input

Example

You can watch an example video of how to use the program: demo.mp4
