I will give you a hand but will not write the code for you...

 

Let's take an easy example.

 

255 we all know that translates into 1111 1111 and FF but why?

 

255 / 2 = 127 rest 1

127/ 2 = 63 rest 1

63 / 2 = 31 rest 1

31 / 2 = 15 rest 1

15 / 2 = 7 rest 1

7 / 2 = 3 rest 1

3 / 2 = 1 rest 1

1 / 2 = 0 rest 1

 

Easy?

 

This works for every other system you can up with

 

255 / 16 = 15 rest 15 = F

15 / 16 = 0 rest 15 = F

 

255 / 8 = 31 rest 7

31 / 8 = 3 rest 7

7 / 8 = 3 rest 3

 

Just remember to add the results from back to front. It makes sense as you do that for decimal numbers too so the octal of 255 is 377 not 773

 

Now the inverse should be easy too

 

377 octal

 

7 * 1 = 7

7 * 8 = 56

3 * 8 * 8= 192

7 + 56 + 192 = 255

 

note that the sequence of numbers I multiply with is

 

8 ^ 0 = 1

8 ^ 1 = 8

8 ^ 2 = 8 * 8 = 64

 

that counts for binary too

 

2 ^ 0 = 1

2 ^ 1 = 2

2 ^ 2 = 4

2 ^ 3 = 8

2 ^ 4 = 16

 

and for hexadecimal

 

16 ^ 0 = 1

16 ^ 1 = 16

16 ^ 2 = 255

 

We start here with the last char and not the first.
