a) convert_numbers.convert

python -m convert_numbers.convert number new_base --current_base
python -m convert_numbers.convert number new_base -cb

python -m convert_numbers.convert 12 2 -cb 10

b) convert_numbers.loop

This converts the input and waits for more input to convert until it’s quit. The user types in 3 numbers separated by a space.

number_to_convert base_to_convert_to current_base

If current_base is not provided base 10 is assumed. Runs until user types ‘q’. For help type ‘h’.

python -m convert_numbers.loop
Enter 'number new_base current_base': number new_base current_base*

Enter 'number new_base current_base': 12 2 10*
'12' in Decimal (base 10) to Binary (base 2) = '1100'
Enter 'number new_base current_base': q

c) convert_numbers.table

python -m convert_numbers.table 12,13,14 2 -cb=16


Base 16 to base 2
----------------------------
|  Hexadecimal  |  Binary  |
----------------------------
|       12      |  10010   |
|       13      |  10011   |
|       14      |  10100   |
----------------------------

An example of input file is found here.

d) convert_numbers.file

This takes input completely from a file and outputs to another file. In the file, the first line is the list of comma-separated numbers to convert, the second is the new base, while the third is the current base, if any otherwise it’s base 10. Example input is here

python -m convert_numbers.file input_file.txt output_file.txt

Written to 'out_file.txt'

Writes a csv like file, two columns old number, new number. The first two rows are informational.

Main Functions

These, only one, can be used in isolation to convert a number from any base to any other base.

from conversions import convert_number

convert_number('12', 10, 2) # return '1100'

Helper Functions

from conversions.convert import convert_from_base_10

result = convert_from_base_10(12, 2) # returns ['1100', 2]

from conversions.convert import convert_float_from_base_10

result = convert_float_from_base_10(0.25, 2) # ['0.01', 2]

from conversions.convert import convert_to_base_10

result = convert_to_base_10('1001', 2) # returns 9

from conversions.convert import convert_float_to_base_10

result = convert_float_to_base_10('0.2', 16) # returns 0.125

Utility functions

To check the name of a base given the base, use n_utils.base_find which takes the base as argument and returns a string of the name of the base.

from n_utils import base_find, ensure_base_is_standard, base_limits


ensure_base_is_standard(63) # False
ensure_base_is_standard(64) # True

base_limits('G4', 16) # False
base_limits('G4', 20) # True

base_find(2) # Binary
base_find(10) # Decimal
