{
static void Main()
{
// Creating some number strings
string num1 = "34";
string num2 = "1";
string num3 = "222";
// Converting to Octal and printing the results
Console.WriteLine("{0} {1}", num1, Convert.ToInt32(num1, 8));
Console.WriteLine("{0} {1}", num2, Convert.ToInt32(num2, 8));
Console.WriteLine("{0} {1}", num3, Convert.ToInt32(num3, 8));
}
