Welcome to the Number Base Converter page.
This page contains a brief description and implementation instructions for the project.
Project Description
Converts an integer from one base to another (e.g. decimal to binary, hexadecimal to decimal). The user specifies a number and base, and the program outputs the equivalent in another base.
Project Requirements
Python 3.x (no libraries needed).
How to Run the Project
- Create a script (e.g.
base_converter.py
) using built-in functionsbin()
,hex()
, or manual conversion. - Run it:
python base_converter.py
. Enter a number and base; get the result in the target base.
Key Concepts Learned
- Built-in Functions:
int(x, base)
for parsing andformat
orbin/hex
to output. - User Interaction: Input and output formatting.
- Numeric Bases: Understanding positional notation and bases up to 36 (using digits and letters).
Possible Extensions
- Convert fractions (non-integers).
- Create a web or GUI interface.
- Implement a manual conversion algorithm for learning.
