A technician is debugging a piece of software and needs to convert an error code from decimal to octal format. The error code is 10 in decimal. What is the corresponding value in octal?
10
14
12
8
The correct answer is 12 in octal format because octal is a base-8 numbering system. When converting from decimal to octal, the number 10 in decimal equals 18^1 + 28^0, which is 12 in octal. Other options are incorrect as they do not represent the correct conversion for the decimal value provided. For example, 8 is incorrect because it represents a decimal value that is too low.
