base-n series generator for a given number in java,,

I want to create a program for g开发者_StackOverflowenerating the series for the given base-n. , for example if my input is 2,then series shuould be, 00,01,10,11,etc.,(binary) if my input is 10,then series shuould be,1,2,3,4,5,etc.,(decimal)

is there any general mechanism to find these numbers so that I can program for base-n.,

UPDATE:- After,working out.,i face issue.

If I want to process that integer how to do that? Some body commented that, BaseInteger class I should use. please elaborate

You could use Integer's toString(int i, int radix) method for that.

For example:

Integer.toString(2, 2) // number 2, base 2

returns the string:

"10"

Note that the radix should be between 1 and 36.

You might be looking for something like this (take a peek at "Algorithm: Constructing Base b Expansions"):

I think you should first figure in which format you need the results. If they should be Strings, Bart's answer would probably suit you. An integer representation, which does actually mean something else (e.g. the int 10 does mean 2 with base 2) seems awkward to me. If i would need something like you described, i would probably implement a BaseNumber class first.
