Hi there,
I've been looking for 2 days for a way to convert integer to binary number
0-padded, nothing...
I need to get numbers converted with a defined number of bits. For example on 8
bits 2 = 00000010
I wrote the following:
<code>
#!/usr/bin/env python
def int2binPadded(number, size):
"""The purpose of this function is to convert integer number to binary
number
0-padded."""
if type(number)!=int or number < 0:
raise ValueError, "should be a positive integer"
if type(size)!=int:
raise ValueError, "should be an integer"
if number > (2**size)-1:
raise ValueError, "number is too large"
# convert int to bin
b = str(bin(number))[2:]
if len(b) !=size:
b = (size-len(b))*"0"+b
return b
if __name__ == "__main__":
import sys
print int2binPadded(int(sys.argv[1]),int(sys.argv[2]))
</code>
This satisfies my needs !
Though, what do you think about it ?
Thank you for you remarks,
Olivier
