bit.tostring
Convert a number into a string
Prototype
s = bit.tostring (n, base)Description
This takes a number, and converts it into a string to the given base, in uppercase. The base is optional and defaults to 10. The base can be in the range 2 to 36. Fractional parts are discarded, as the number is first converted to a 64-bit number internally. Negative numbers are OK, and will be converted with a leading "-" sign.
eg.
eg.
print (bit.tostring (45035996273, 16)) --> A7C5AC471
