10 decimal digits + 26 english characters = 36. ThusThisLongWordWithLettersAndDigitsFrom0to9isAnIntegerBase36 (case insensitive). So, how do I convert the above long word to a bignum? actually, my numbers will fit into int64, no bignum support is necessary. thanks. -- Sam Steingold <http://sds.podval.org> ______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
