QString to Binary problem

Hi everyone;

I'm working on a program which user types a hexadecimal number on a text edit box and trying to convert it to a binary number.

At last I can get the binary of that number as a QString but in the conversion to integer I have problems..


For example when user types A00A, I can get a QString value binary_res like:

QString binary_res="1010000000001010";
int bin = binary_res.toInt(&ok, 10);


but int bin returns 0.




How can i protect the binary_res as a binary number while conversion or is there any possible ways to
convert hexadecimal number to binary number without using QString ?? ?(


Thanks in advance..

int bin = binary_res.toInt(&ok, 2);
If you have a problem, CUT and PASTE your code. Do not retype or simplify it. Give a COMPLETE and COMPILABLE example of your problem. Otherwise we are all guessing the problem from a fabrication where relevant details are often missing.

It didn't work anyway.. When I enter "A00A" with this change, it returns the decimal value 40970 , not the binary.. :thumbdown:

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);

    QString seven = "111";

    bool b;
    int x = seven.toInt(&b, 2);

    qDebug() << b << x;
    return a.exec();
}

That is correct behaviour. If you want int to mean something that isnt int, then, well, thats your problem :p

Please state what is your input, and what is your desired output.

From your op you have input as 'hex string'. You state you can convert that into binary string already, so you dont want that. You then seem to be trying to convert the binary string into a number. Well, you can convert the hex string into the same number without converting it to binary string first. I played along anyway, and showed you how to get the int from a 'base two string val' (int is int, not int base 10, or int base 2). But that is not right, apparently.

So what do you actually want to do?


NB
in c++
int w = 1.1e1; x = 0xb; int y = 013; int z = 11;

all have the same value: 11. If you want 11 to look like 1011, then it is just a matter of representation and you are back to changing a number into a string.
If you have a problem, CUT and PASTE your code. Do not retype or simplify it. Give a COMPLETE and COMPILABLE example of your problem. Otherwise we are all guessing the problem from a fabrication where relevant details are often missing.

Yes I only wanted to protect the binary version of the string while converting it to integer.. And user types only hexadecimal inputs.. So:

If input is 11 (hexadecimal)
It means 00010001 in binary..

Anyway I found out that the problem is only about bounds of integer.. :whistling: when it's not out of bounds, my first code returns true value like:

Input:AA
Output:10101010

Thx Amleto for your answers.. :)
