hex2dec – Hexadecimal to decimal

Write a program that converts hexadecimal numbers to decimal, i.e., from base 16 to base 10.

Hexadecimal do decimal

Input will consist of several lines each with an hexadecimal number h of up to 7 hexadecimal digits. The hexadecimal digits representing quantities from 0 to 15 are: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, a, b, c, d, e, f. Letters are given in lowercase.

For each line of input, output should contain a line with the decimal representation of the corresponding input number.

Example Input

a
10
c0ffee
bad

Example Output

Scoring

1/6: works for the above example but produces output in an incorrect format
2/6: works for the above example and produces output in the correct format
5/6: works for other test cases
6/6: works for edge cases

Hints

Remember the characters '0' through '9' are different than the numeric values 0 through 9. You can create a function which converts between both by using an if or case expression.
