Binary, Octal and Hexadecimal Values in Python

Converting a decimal number to its binary, octal or hexadecimal value is easier than it looks. A simple way to do this is using the bin, oct and hex functions directly:

n = 97 print(bin(n)) print(oct(n)) print(hex(n)) 
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Result:

0b1100001 0o141 0x61 
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Note that we have two digits of standardization at the beginning of the results, to solve this, we can slice it as follows:

n = 97 print(bin(n)[2:]) print(oct(n)[2:]) print(hex(n)[2:]) 
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Result:

1100001 141 61 
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
