Thanks for your comments, especially about label use; I clearly can learn something there (and in many other areas).

I do have the algorithm for computing the result in the right order on paper (maybe not the most efficient one, using the fact that 10^int(2log(n)) puts the "1 in the right place") but real life is interfering right now, so I'll have to code (and improve) that at a later time.

I am sure there are more efficient algorithms, and also programs for "base n to base m" conversions. So if this was a real world problem, I would do some literature search first. But the learning experience is fun
