PERL oct Function



Syntax

oct EXPR

oct


Definition and Usage

Converts EXPR from octal to decimal. For example, oct('0760') will return '496'. You can use the string returned as a number because Perl will automatically convert strings to numbers in numeric contexts.

Passed parameter should be an octal number otherwise it will produce zero as a result.

Return Value

  • Decimal value

Example

Try out following example:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

print("oct(88) ", oct('88'), "\n");
print("oct(0760) ", oct('0760'), "\n");

It will produce following results:

oct(88) 0
oct(0760) 496
