# baseNtoDec(A,n)

Base conversion from any base to decimal.

### Syntax

o_baseNtoDec(a)
  A: scalar Text - value in base n as plain text
  n: Int - base to be used
  return: decimal (base 10) value

### Usage

This implements a general base conversion between decimal and an arbitrary base. The numeric characters 0-9 are used up to base ten, then the alpha characters A-Z up to base 37 and then beyond that are ASCII characters.

### Location

menu: veeos ==> Data ==> baseNtoDec

library: dataLib

### Example

`o_baseNtoDec("A36",27) returns 7377`

`o_baseNtoDec("A36",16) returns 2614`

### Notes

This is implemented without loops so is very fast. Only positive integer values are supported.
