i have a 4 digit hex number (2 bytes) and i want to separate it into 2
digit hex (1 byte each) meaning i want to get the upper byte and the
lower byte since i am going to add this two.
how am i going to do this?
should i treat it just like a normal string?
please help, thanks.
ex. hexa = '0x87BE" # what i want to do is:
a = 0x87, b = 0xBE # so that i could do this:
c = a + b #which should be equal to 0x145
divmod does what you want:
Py> val = 0x87be
Py> hi, lo = divmod(val, 0x100)
Py> hex(hi), hex(lo)
('0x87', '0xbe')
Py> hex(hi + lo)
'0x145'
Cheers,
Nick.
