dec_to_oct (int val) Converts a decimal number into octal number

Function Documentation

Converts a Decimal (base 10) number to an Octal (base 8) number.

Octal number only include the representations for the values from 0 to 7, as in

01234567

Therefore the first set of Octal number are as follows

Octal	Decimal
0	0	zero
01	1	one
02	2	two
03	3	three
04	4	four
05	5	five
06	6	six
07	7	seven
010	8	eight
011	9	nine
012	10	ten
013	11	eleven
014	12	twelve

Example 1:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <codecogs/computing/base/dec_to_oct.h>
 
int main(void)
{
 int num;
 printf("Enter the decimal number: ");
 scanf("%d",&num);
 
 printf("The octal equivalent is %d\n", Computing::Base::dec_to_oct(num));
}

Ouput:

enter the number: 10
The octal equivalent is 12
 
enter the number: 64
The octal equivalent is 100

Parameters:

val	a decimal value

Returns:

a octal value
