lsl feature request [BUG-233430] llToHex(number, uppercase)

[primerib1]

Another JIRA ticket from me: BUG-233430

 

Quote

New function: llToHex()

Function signature:

    string llToHex(integer number, integer uppercase);

Returns the number but in hexadecimal, without leading "0x".

Parameters:

• uppercase – if TRUE, return hexadecimal using uppercase letters. If FALSE, use lowercase letters.

 

 

Feel free to pipe up in the linked bug ticket!

Without going to the link, can you tell me if you are requesting a new function, or are you reporting a bug on an existing new function?

The "BUG-XXX" links are confusing if used for "feature requests" 🙂 

*Edit* I see the "LSL Feature Request" tag in the thread now.

Sorry!

Personally I'd like something that allows for a freely chosen radix between 2 and 36, like the Javascript Number.toString(radix) and parseInt(..., radix). Sure, hex is the one that is most commonly useful, along with binary, but if a conversion function (or a pair of functions) was added natively, unusual bases might allow some interesting optimizations or tricks with less effort.
