How to convert from base-256 to base-N, where N is higher than 16?
- by mark
Dear ladies and sirs.
I need to convert an array of bytes to another base, namely 85. In math terms the question is how to convert from base-256 to base-85 in the most efficient way?
This question is inspired by my previous question - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2827627/what-is-the-most-efficient-way-to-encode-an-arbitrary-guid-into-readable-ascii-3
Thanks.
