[Gabino A. de la Gala]

 Return res

 

[Sadk]

 Return = res

there are still three errors in log

Main - ConvertToBase10 = ""             : '(' expected.
Main -     ConvertToBase10 = res           : '(' expected.
Main - ConvertFromBase10 = strRes       : '(' expected.

 

[Gabino A. de la Gala]

In B4X, the way to assign the value that the functions have to return is always done in the same way:

Return ValueDesired

 

[Brian Dean]

Return does not require an equals sign!

 

[Gabino A. de la Gala]

Return does not require an equals sign!

Yes! It's my fault.

 

[Star-Dust]

is Wrong

ConvertFromBase10 = strRes

You're getting the b4x grammar wrong. You don't have to use the function name for returning the result. This is in the grammar of other languages

Change to

Return strRes

[Star-Dust]

This is a new mistake. Indicates that the string you want to convert to number is empty.
