From Base

Description

This operation converts a number from a specified base (or radix) into its decimal form (base 10), represented as a string.

In a positional numeral system, the radix or base is the number of unique digits, including the digit zero, used to represent numbers. For example, (100)₁₀ is equivalent to 100 (the decimal system is implied in the latter) and represents the number one hundred, while (100)₂ (in the binary system with base 2) represents the number four.

Example

Suppose you want to transform a series of numbers with a specified base into their decimal forms:

1. In your Pipeline, open the required Action configuration and select the input Field.

2. In the Operation field, choose From Base.

3. Set Radix (Base) to 2.

4. Give your Output field a name and click Save. The values in your input field will be decoded. For example:

(100)2 -> 4

You can try out operations with specific values using the Input field above the operation. You can enter the value in the example above and check the result in the Output field.
