Description |
|---|---|---|
result |
The value passed converted to octal. |
|
value |
The number to be converted to octal. |
Notes
If the value is not a whole number, the decimal value will be truncated.
VB Compatibility Note: VB rounds the value to the nearest whole number so the Oct function will probably be changed in a future release to do this as well.
You can specify binary, hex, or octal numbers by preceding the number with the & symbol and the letter that indicates the number base. The letter b indicates binary, h indicates hex, and o indicates octal.
Sample code
Here are examples of various numbers converted to octal:
Var octVersion As String
octVersion = Oct(5) ' returns "5"
octVersion = Oct(75) ' returns "113"
octVersion = Oct(256) ' returns "400"
Compatibility
All project types on all supported operating systems.
