Decimal to Hexadecimal in Python
The hex() method in Python is used to convert decimal integers to hexadecimal integers as a string.
- You may be aware that binary is a base 2 system (0,1).
- A decimal number is a number with a base of 10 (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9).
- A hexadecimal is a base 16 number (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F).
In a computer, they are simply multiple ways of encoding the same number. Look at the table below :
| Hexadecimal | Decimal | Binary |
|---|---|---|
| A | 10 | 1010 |
| B | 11 | 1011 |
| C | 12 | 1100 |
| 10 | 16 | 10000 |
| 11 | 17 | 10001 |
| 12 | 18 | 10010 |
The syntax for hexadecimal integer is:
hex(x)where x is decimal number.
Program :
# Python program to convert decimal to hexadecimal
# input
num = int(input('Enter a decimal number: '))
# print result
print('HexaDecimal value = ', hex(num))Output:
Enter a decimal number: 15
HexaDecimal value = 0xf
