oh, sorry, i meant how to get the 0x0A27 out of two bytes a = 0x27 and b = 0x8A
actually, in my script, i am not using the hex values at all, i have these because they are examples in the documentation of a machine i am talking to. i am actually using ord(a) and ord(b) to get digital values of the numbers so, i guess a better question is how to get 2599 from the ord(a) and ord(b), how do i put the two bytes together to make one number? thanks for your help On 2/21/07, Luke Paireepinart <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > shawn bright wrote: > > Hey all, thanks for the help yesterday on finding out if an msb is set or > > not. > > > > i am now kinda stumped with discovering the value of two bytes together. > > > > ok, if i have two bytes that together make a number, how do i find that > > number? > > i know that i do not add them. > > > > like byte_a = 39 > > byte_b = 138 > > > > together, they make 2599 > > > > in hex they look like this > > byte_a = 0x27 > > byte_b = 0x8A > > > > together = 0x0A27 > > > > i am making the integers with ord(a) and ord(b) > > > > how do i put them together ? > > > >>> int("0x0A27",16) > 2599 > > Hope that helps :) > -Luke > > thanks > > _______________________________________________ > > Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org > > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor > > > > > > _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
