How to convert octal to decimal in Golang 1.20
0In this video we are going to generate source code for the GoLang Program, How to convert octal to decimal using chatGPT.
After generating we will verify and run the generated code.
IMPORTANT NOTE on SOURCE CODE: only source code that are acceptable by the youtube description box will be displayed.
##############SOURCE CODE#########################
package main
import "fmt"
func octalToDecimal(octal int64) int64 {
decimal := int64(0)
base := int64(1)
for octal != 0 {
remainder := octal % 10
decimal += remainder * base
base *= 8
octal /= 10
}
return decimal
}
func main() {
var octal int64
fmt.Print("Enter an octal number: ")
fmt.Scanln(&octal)
decimal := octalToDecimal(octal)
fmt.Printf("Decimal equivalent: %d", decimal)
}

Below is the explanation for the program:
Explanation:
We start by importing the fmt package, which provides functions for formatting and printing data.
We define a function octalToDecimal that takes an int64 octal number and returns its decimal equivalent as an int64.
The function uses a loop to convert each digit of the octal number to its decimal equivalent, and accumulates the result in a variable called decimal.
In the main function, we declare a variable octal to hold the octal number entered by the user.
We use fmt.Scanln to read the input from the user and store it in octal.
We call the octalToDecimal function to convert octal to its decimal equivalent, and store the result in a variable called decimal.
Finally, we print the decimal equivalent using fmt.Printf.
That's it! The octalToDecimal function is the key part of this program, as it performs the actual conversion from octal to decimal.
