Hey, what is the object/command that I need in order to change a decimal number to octale, or to binary, or to hexidecimal, etc. Is there a command like Integer.toOctale? Thanks in advance!

Hi, Justin -
Thre's no such number system as "octale". 
If you're looking for "octal", do you want the number or the string representation of the number?
Cheers,
Jeff

Either would work, string respresentation would be nice but I'd like to know both. Thanks!

If you have an int, you can get the String representation with:
Or you can get the number if you started with a String with:
These are both static methods of class Integer, so you don't need an Integer object. There are other ways to do this, but these give you the general idea. I highly recommend getting familiar with the API docs, because you could have found the answer on your own in about a minute.
