 static System::String ^ Oct(System::UInt64 Number);
[System.CLSCompliant(false)]
public static string Oct (ulong Number);
[<System.CLSCompliant(false)>]
static member Oct : uint64 -> string
Public Function Oct (Number As ULong) As String

Parameters

Number
UInt64

Required. Any valid numeric expression or String expression.

Returns

String

A string representing the octal value of a number.

Attributes
CLSCompliantAttribute

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

Number is not specified.

ArgumentException

Number is not a numeric type.

Examples

This example uses the Oct function to return the octal value of a number.

Dim testOct As String
' Returns "4".
testOct = Oct(4)
' Returns "10".
testOct = Oct(8)
' Returns "713".
testOct = Oct(459)

Remarks

If Number is not already a whole number, it is rounded to the nearest whole number before being evaluated.

If Number is Oct returns
Empty Zero (0)
Any other number Up to 22 octal characters

You can represent octal numbers directly by preceding numbers in the proper range with &O. For example, &O10 is the octal notation for decimal 8.
