That’s easy, int('11', 2) and bin(3) should be enough. > But I want to do it the hard way e.g. not using built in python functions. > Can you give me an idea about how I can do that? Are you crazy or is it an assignment? Write code according to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_number#Conversion_to_and_from_other_numeral_systems (or other methods you can find on the Internet or in math textbooks). Alternatively, you can find out how it is done in other programming languages or even Python itself. And use that. PS. actually, it is impossible to do it in plain Python without using built-in functions. Because multiplication, division and exponentiation and whatnot are built-ins. OP, please tell your mail provider that it shouldn’t filter swearwords, and even if it does, that it shouldn’t inform me of that. -- Kwpolska <http://kwpolska.tk> | GPG KEY: 5EAAEA16 stop html mail | always bottom-post http://asciiribbon.org | http://caliburn.nl/topposting.html _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
