Octal #
Octal is a Dart package designed for developers who need to handle octal to decimal conversions and manage Linux file permissions. It provides a simple and effective way to translate octal numbers into their decimal and symbolic equivalents, making it easier to work with file permissions in Linux environments.
Getting started #
To use this package, simply add it to your pubspec.yaml:
dependencies:
octal: ^1.0.0

Then, import it into your Dart code:
import 'package:octal/octal.dart';

main() {
int decimalValue = octal(123); // 83 in decimal
print(decimalValue);
}

For a more complete example, see the example code provided in the repository.
Comparison with Other Languages #
Java #
Java uses the 0123 syntax for octal numbers, which can be confusing and error-prone:
int octalValue = 0123; // Java syntax for octal, leading zero indicates octal
System.out.println(octalValue); // Prints 83 (decimal)

Rust #
Rust, on the other hand, uses a more explicit and clear 0o123 syntax for octal numbers:
let octal_value = 0o123; // Rust syntax for octal
println!("{}", octal_value); // Prints 83 (decimal)
