Multiple integers stored into one

[Arhowk]

ok this is really hard to explain but most coders would know exactly what im talking about.

12^6 = 2985984

using the modulo function, how can i subtract numbers so i can do like

n%12 = 10
(n/12)%12 = 11
(n/144)%12 = 3
(n/(12^3))%12 = 7

and so on

If the max is 12^6, then

number - number/12^6*12^6 = stored number
number/12^6 = remaining numbers (removing the stored number)

I REAAAALY should do this in Windows... but, whatev ^^

// stores numbers in range (0,11)

function Store takes integer n0, n1, n2, n3, n4, n5 returns integer
    return n0 + 12*n1 + 144*n2 + 144*12*n3 +144*144*n4 + 144*144*12*n5
endfunction

function RetrieveN takes integer packed, integer n returns integer
    local integer count=0
    local integer mod
    loop
        set mod = ModuloInteger(packed,12)
        if count==n then
            return mod
        endif
        set packed = (packed - mod)/12
        set count=count+1
    endloop
endfunction

integer multiple = Store(1,7,2,0,0,0)
RetrieveN(multiple,0) // n0 == 1
RetrieveN(multiple,1) // n1 == 7
RetrieveN(multiple,2) // n2 == 2
RetrieveN(multiple,3) // n3 == 0
RetrieveN(multiple,4) // n4 == 0
RetrieveN(multiple,5) // n5 == 0

Didnt think of doing it that way. Thanks

convert to string
add 0's if string length is less than expected
get substring
convert back to integer

leak!

roughly 2mil string base leaks to be exact. more efficient this way
