[<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.
