In Java how do you convert a decimal number to base 36?

Question

If I have a decimal number, how do I convert it to base 36 in Java?

Answer 1

See the documentation for Integer.toString

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/Integer.html#toString(int,%20int)

toString

public static String toString(int i, int radix)
....
The following ASCII characters are used as digits:

   0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

What is radix? You're in luck for Base 36 (and it makes sense)
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/Character.html#MAX_RADIX

public static final int     MAX_RADIX   36
