<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 577586 by <a href="/recipes/users/4172995/">Shashwat Anand</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/algorithms/">algorithms</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/base/">base</a>). </p> <p>This function takes in any base-10 integer and returns the string representation of that number in its specified base-n form. The code was inspired from <a href="http://code.activestate.com/recipes/65212-convert-from-decimal-to-any-base-number/" rel="nofollow">http://code.activestate.com/recipes/65212-convert-from-decimal-to-any-base-number/</a> , thereby improving upon it.</p>

Revision 7. </p> <p>This code enable decimal base conversion according map length and a different char set.</p> <p>Example:</p> <ul> <li>map = ['0','1'] base 2 10 -> 1010</li> <li>map = ['a','b'] base 2 10 -> baba</li> <li>map = ['a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h','i','j','k','l'] base 12 10 -> k</li> <li>map = ['a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h','i','j','k','l'] base 12 100 -> ie</li> </ul> <p>this simple method can be used in web sites to hide a well known decimal sequence like user ids.</p>
