PicBasic question

I have a numeric variables and I want convert it on string variable or concatenate variable.
How do I do it ?
example
a var byte
b var byte
c var word

a=$44
b=$33

concatenate
c=$4433

or string variable
c="4433"
Thanks
 

Re: PicBasic question

Hi Gzorzi,

Try this:

c = a << 8 + b

Re: PicBasic question

for concatenating do this:
r= a* (10^(log(b)+ 1)) + b;
^ means power
 

Re: PicBasic question

Hi verilog_crack, yes that's another way but here we have a PIC which has hard time to multiply and calculate that takes a lot of memory to implement, so by shifting 8 places to the left is memory efficient and a fast way of doing it. Ofcourse Gzorzi you have to try both and let us know the results, for future apps.
Verilog_crack your way is interesting too. I will give it a try as well.

Hi verilog_crack, I tried your formula but PICBASIC pro and other
picbasic compilers they don't support LOG function directly.
As per their manuals.

Hi,
You can make a function to compute log(a) very easy:
i= 1;
while (i*10< a) i= i+1;
 

Re: PicBasic question

Again it will compile with error, are you using PICbasic compiler? if you compile your way how many words it takes? My method takes 35 words.
Please compile yours.
