Talk:Binary to unary conversion

Unary to binary (arbitrary precision) conversion

It will be interesting to add the reverse operation (Unary to Binary) to this page for the sake of completeness.

I can't think of a better way to do this (for the general, arbitrary precision case) than to implement a binary adder.

Has anyone worked out a Unary to Binary conversion algorithm in /// or any other string replacement esolang?

I've been able to put together a silly Unary to Binary encoder in /// for numbers up to 255:

   /
   //
   /**/10/
   /1010/100/
   /100100/1000/
   /10001000/10000/
   /1000010000/100000/
   /100000100000/1000000/
   /10000001000000/10000000/
   /\*/1/
   /00000001000000/!000000/
   /000000100000/!00000/
   /0000010000/!0000/
   /00001000/!000/
   /000100/!00/
   /0010/!0/
   /01/!/
   /!/1/

And here it is a candidate /// algorithm for unbounded unary to binary conversion:

   /
   //
   /*/>@/
   /@>/@/
   /@/01/
   /10/01/
   /011/1\0/
   /01/#1/
   /#//
   />0/>/
   />//
   **********************************

Could anyone verify its correctness? Can it be simplified?
