*DAILY-MINI-CHALLENGE* : ANY TEXT CAN BE STORED IN A (!VERY BIG!) NUMBER AND EACH NUMBER CAN REPRESENT ANY TEXT. CHECK IT OUT!!!

Question

A string s = "hi" can be converted into a number x:
1) split string into characters
"hi" = ['h','i']
2) convert each character to its asci_numbr
['h','i'] = [104,105]
3) start at i = 0..s.length-1:
multiply each ascii-value with (256^i) and build the sum of it
104*(256^0) + 105*(256^1) = 26984 = x

Backwards:
While x > 0 you have to do
1) y = x%256
2) msg += ascii_char(y)
3) x = x // 256
This returns the msg = "hi"

WHAT DOES x = 1701013870 MEANS?

Answer 3

Guess I will give it a shot

Answer 4

is it 'hello world'?

Answer 5

I'll try this too, here it is: https://code.sololearn.com/WFsgk0vg00kS/
Nice! 👍

the hi's sum is: 26984

I could call it maxi-challenge for JavaScript by the big numbers, plus planning a solution.

Answer 6

no ... NOT "hello world" !

Answer 7

Will take a shot at this first, wants winner 😂

Answer 8

for $0: what is "nice"?

Answer 10

@Julian you got a minor mistake on your question. "hi" should be represented as 26984 in base 256. 👌

Answer 11

Here's my C# implementation with customizable number base:-

*UPDATE* With reverse implementation as well 😄

LINQ One-Liner 〰
Enumerable.Range(1, str.Length).Sum(n => str[n - 1] * Math.Pow(256, n - 1));

Answer 12

@Sayantan
wich language? ^^
if you're using js there are several librarys for 'bigint'.
but you have to download most of them...
