I am writing a program that will convert octal numbers to decimals. It compiles right and everything but there is something majorily wrong with my conversion code. It seems perfectly logic to me, however somehow when I run the program the conversions are wrong (i.e. 1 is converted to 36) can someone point out what is going wrong?
public static int convert(int octal)
{
int d1=0,d2=0,d3=0,d4=0,d5=0,d6=0,d7=0,d8=0;
if(octal >=9999999){
d8 = (octal-(octal%10000000));}
if(octal >=999999){
d7 = (octal-(octal%1000000));}
if(octal >=99999){
d6 = (octal-(octal%100000));}
if(octal >=9999){
d5 = (octal-(octal%10000));}
if(octal >= 999){
d4 = (octal-(octal%1000));}
if(octal >= 99){
d3 = (octal-(octal%100));}
if(octal >= 9){
d2 = (octal-(octal%10));}
if(octal >= 0){
d1 = (octal-(octal%1));}
octal = (d8 * 8^7) + (d7 * 8^6) + (d6 * 8^5) + (d5 * 8^4) + (d4 * 8^3) + (d3 * 8^2) + (d2 * 8^1) + (d1 * 8^0);
return octal;
}
this is just my convert method, my main method is what collects the int octal;
