In this tutorial, we will learn how to convert a decimal number to hexadecimal in Python. We will cover the basic concept of hexadecimal numbers and implement a function to perform the conversion.
Hexadecimal conversion is the process of converting a decimal (base-10) number to a hexadecimal (base-16) number. In hexadecimal, numbers are represented using digits from 0 to 9 and letters from A to F.
The syntax to convert a decimal number to hexadecimal in Python is:
def decimal_to_hexadecimal(n):
return hex(n).replace('0x', '').upper()
We can create a function to convert a given decimal number to hexadecimal using Python's built-in functions.
For example,
decimal_to_hexadecimal
that takes one parameter n
.hex
function to convert the decimal number to hexadecimal.replace
method.def decimal_to_hexadecimal(n):
return hex(n).replace('0x', '').upper()
# Convert 255 to hexadecimal
result = decimal_to_hexadecimal(255)
# Print the result
print('Hexadecimal representation of 255 is', result)
Hexadecimal representation of 255 is FF
