Hi,
I have a vector<int> A or an array (for C guys) that contains the octal
representation of a number.
So the array can be something like: [1,5,7] or [7,7,5,6,3,4,2] etc
i.e no number in the array can be >= 8.
Now given this array, I need to convert it its decimal representation.
The naive way to do it would be to scan array from left to right, take each
digit, multiply by 8 pow (x) where x is from 0 to ...n and compute sum.
i.e something like:
int oct = 1;
int num = 0;
for(<array length>){
num+= oct * A[i];
oct = oct * 8;
}
is there a faster way to do this? maybe using some STL container or algorithm. ?
thanks,
sarvesh
