Well, I though it might be appropriate to go this way in case any other math needs arise from this system. I can use the functions I put together to do any math I need to (even though I don't need to yet...)


For example to solve

what is "AFGO" + "QFEG"?

a = "AFGO"
b = "QFEG"

lnAnswer = Base10ToBase26(Base26ToBase10(a) + Base26ToBase10(b))

any other functions I could imagine could be handled this way.
