GROUCHO 🎸 🐍

Convert between numbers of different bases. 🎸 🐍

ABOUT 📚

Roughly a year ago, I set myself the challenge of implementing a set of functions that could convert between numbers of different bases. I implemented this in Dart and Javascript.I then decided to re-write this implementation in Python 3. The Dart implementation can be found here and the Javascript implementation here. The bases this library handles are: base 10, base 2, and base 16.

• get_letter_from_index(index): Gets the letter from a supplied index. Returns an empty string if a letter cannot be found.
• bin_to_dec(binaryNumber): Converts a base 2 number as a string to a base 10 number as an integer.
• dec_to_bin(decimalNumber): Converts a base 10 number as an integer to a base 2 number as a string.
• hex_to_dec(hexNumber): Converts a base 16 number as a string to a base 10 number as an integer.
• is_bin(expr): Checks whether the supplied number string is a binary number and returns a boolean based on this.
• is_int(expr): A function to check whether a string is an integer. Returns a boolean.
