How do i write the code for this

23 New Member
I want to write a program that will prompt the user for a number, its base, and the base to which it should be converted. I want the program yo convert the number and display an appropriate comment with the resulting number. The number entered will be either an integer or real number.

The conversion process is from source base to decimal, then from decimal to the target base. For nonterminating conversions, I only need five places after the decimal.

Did you have a question? If this is homework, we cannot provide a solution for you, but we can help you in your efforts. Here's a hint for a start.
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. # Prompt user for a number
  2. num = raw_input("Enter a number")

Hello I have a block of html code that I want to run by calling a javascript function to print it. Its basically a table with menu items in it that is the same for many pages, and instead of copying/pasting everytime I change it, I figure this will be better, as I only change it once. The problem is, document.write doesn't handle multiple lines very well, so I was wondering what is the best way to do this? Maybe there is even a better...

I am taking a course in writing javascript and it (and all the books I have been reading) tell me that if I will use the document.write syntax, I will be able to "place text on the page." None of these sources tell me why I would do that instead of using ordinary HTML which is less typing. (I think I understand that it is somehow necessary if I am going to include text in a javascript function such as a calendar/clock, but no source...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention.
