Hi,
as you can argue from the subject, i'm really,really new to python.
What is the best way to achieve that with python? Because the syntax
int('30',2) doesn't seem to work!
Thank you all for the big help!
@Mark Lawrence
Yes, you're definetely right: i should have posted my OS and the version but
being a very rough question on syntax i thought it didn't really matter.
I've quite a good general programming experience. I know Java,Visual
Basic.NET,Pascal and Mathematica.
note that the builtin bin function is not available with python ver < 2.6
def Denary2Binary(n):
'''convert denary integer n to binary string bStr'''
bStr = ''
if n < 0: raise ValueError, "must be a positive integer"
if n == 0: return '0'
while n > 0:
bStr = str(n % 2) + bStr
n = n >> 1
return bStr

(not my function but I can't remember who I stole from)
