# Instructions

Convert a sequence of digits in one base, representing a number, into a sequence of digits in another base, representing the same number.

~~~~exercism/note
Try to implement the conversion yourself.
Do not use something else to perform the conversion for you.

## About [Positional Notation][positional-notation]

In positional notation, a number in base **b** can be understood as a linear combination of powers of **b**.

The number 42, _in base 10_, means:

`(4 × 10¹) + (2 × 10⁰)`

The number 101010, _in base 2_, means:

`(1 × 2⁵) + (0 × 2⁴) + (1 × 2³) + (0 × 2²) + (1 × 2¹) + (0 × 2⁰)`

The number 1120, _in base 3_, means:

`(1 × 3³) + (1 × 3²) + (2 × 3¹) + (0 × 3⁰)`

_Yes. Those three numbers above are exactly the same. Congratulations!_

# Introduction

You've just been hired as professor of mathematics.
Your first week went well, but something is off in your second week.
The problem is that every answer given by your students is wrong!
Luckily, your math skills have allowed you to identify the problem: the student answers _are_ correct, but they're all in base 2 (binary)!
Amazingly, it turns out that each week, the students use a different base.
To help you quickly verify the student answers, you'll be building a tool to translate between bases.
