• The string must consist only of valid digits for the given base.
  • Binary: 0–1
  • Octal: 0–7
  • Decimal: 0–9
  • Hexadecimal: 0–9, A–F, a–f
• Returns a 64-bit integer.
• Invalid input (invalid digit for base, or empty string) returns 0.
• Equivalent to HEXVAL or OCTVAL, but generalised for any supported base.
