This program contains functions to convert a number from one base to another.
The bases supported are decimal, binary, octal and hexadecimal.

The functions are:
decToBin(n) - Convert decimal to binary
decToOct(n) - Convert decimal to octal
decToHex(n) - Convert decimal to hexadecimal
binToDec(n) - Convert binary to decimal
octToDec(n) - Convert octal to decimal
hexToDec(hexVal) - Convert hexadecimal to decimal
binToOct(n) - Convert binary to octal
binToHex(n) - Convert binary to hexadecimal
octToBin(n) - Convert octal to binary
octToHex(n) - Convert octal to hexadecimal
hexToBin(hexVal) - Convert hexadecimal to binary
hexToOct(hexVal) - Convert hexadecimal to octal

There is also a function to convert a number from one base to another.
* convert(num, base1, base2) - Convert a number from one base to another
aka universal converter
