oct() function in Perl converts the octal value passed to its respective decimal value. For example, oct(‘1015’) will return ‘525’. This function returns the resultant decimal value in the form of a string which can be used as a number because Perl automatically converts a string to a number in numeric contexts. If the passed parameter is not an octal number then the result will be 0.
Syntax: oct(oct_value)
Parameter:
oct_value: Octal number which is to be converted to decimal
Returns:
the octal value converted to decimal value
Example 1:
print ( "oct(31) " , oct ( '31' ), "\n" );
print ( "oct(50) " , oct ( '50' ), "\n" );
|
Output:
oct(31) 25
oct(50) 40
Example 2:
print ( "oct(106) " , oct ( '106' ), "\n" );
print ( "oct(125) " , oct ( '125' ), "\n" );
|
Output:
oct(106) 70
oct(125) 85
