Introducing the Base99 conversion system

Understanding the base conversion

Base conversion is the process of converting a number from one base (or radix) to another. A base is the number of digits or symbols used to represent numbers in a particular system. For example, the decimal system (base 10) uses 10 digits (0-9), while the binary system (base 2) uses only 2 digits (0 and 1).

To convert a number from one base to another, you can first convert it to decimal (base 10) and then convert that decimal number into the desired base. There are also direct conversion methods between some bases, such as binary, octal, and hexadecimal.

Introducing the base99 conversion system

A base99 conversion system would use 99 distinct symbols to represent numbers. For example, you could use the digits 0-9 and the letters A-Z (lowercase and uppercase) to represent the first 62 symbols. You would then need to choose an additional 37 symbols to represent the remaining values.

As base99 conversion system would require 99 unique characters to represent each digit, however, there are only 62 alphanumeric characters (26 uppercase letters, 26 lowercase letters, and 10 digits) available. So, to create a base99 system, you would need to use additional characters or symbols to represent the remaining digits.

0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>/?`~

To convert a number from decimal to base99, you would repeatedly divide the decimal number by 99 and keep track of the remainders. The remainders would represent the digits of the base99 number in reverse order.

To convert a number from base99 to decimal, you would multiply each digit of the base99 number by 99 raised to the power of its position (starting from the rightmost digit with position 0) and sum the results.

Unlock protected blocks in Siemens SIMATIC Step 7

Recently I'd been called by Hindalco's Fabrication Plant division to unlock the protected blocks in Siemens SIMATIC Step 7. They were in need to unlock those blocks since an year because of 1 million Rupees of loss per month. They want to re-program those blocks but it was locked by the man who'd done the setup. From the people working in that department, I came to know that they were trying to call that man (someone from Italy) right here but he's not coming. Actually, what he'd done was that he'd locked some of the blocks and deleted the source file. And Siemens didn't provide any feature to unlock. Department people also told me that even the people working in Siemens don't know how to do it. Being a software engineer I know that any thing can be reverse engineered. So I took up the challenge. How did I unlocked the blocks? The first thing I'd done was searched about this software at Google and read about what is this software all about. Aft

App: Calculate your job experience or age in years

Usually, all of those who works have to put years of experience on their resume or curriculum vitae. But 90% people put it wrong when they convert their experience in years only. Although they know the exact number of months and years but the conversion, they do is wrong. This happens because there are 12 months while the digit after decimal would be 0-9, i.e., 10 digits. Which means that we have to represent the number of months in terms of year. So here I have provided a small gadget to calculate it. Just put the date when you had started working in the From Date field and put current date in the To Date field. You can also calculate your age as well with this tool by putting your date of birth in the From Date field and put current date in the To Date field. As an alternative, you can use the hassle-free and simple to use  Date Differentiator  micro webapp. Bookmark it so you may easily access it later.
