$tobase(<base> <number>)

• <base> is a number from 2 to 36.
• <number> is a base 10 number.
• If <base> or <number> are omitted, the empty string is returned.
• If <base> is not from 2 to 36, the empty string is returned.
• If <number> is not a number, 0 is returned.
• Otherwise, the return value is <number> converted to base <base>.
• Remember that <number> has to fit into a (long) variable type.

This is useful to convert a decimal number to binary, octal, or hex.

The <number> of base 10 converted to the given <base>. The empty string if argument is omitted. 0 if the conversion was unsucessful.
