<DIV>Hello all,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am trying to write a number-binary-hexadecimal translator than can also act as a makeshift text-binary converter (a is assigned to 01, b to 10, c to 11, etc). However, when I try to write the code such that when the text to be translated is in the lowercase (the first half of ascii_letters), the program should print the corresponding value in binary. Short of defining each letter as a binary number, does anyone have any suggestions? The code as is (not working) is below:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>def convertxt():<BR> if char in alphabet[range(0-26)]:<BR> print binary[range(0-26)]<BR> elif char in alphabet[range(27-52)]:<BR> print binary[range(27-52)]<BR> elif char not in alphabet:<BR> print "Sorry, you didn't enter valid text. Please enter standard letters only."<BR>def convertnum():<BR> whichconv = raw_input("""Convert to:<BR>1: Binary<BR>2: Hexadecimal<BR>""")<BR> if whichconv in('1','Binary','binary','b'):<BR> if char in number:<BR> print binary[int(original) - 1]</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>from string import *</DIV>
<DIV>import time</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>alphabet = [ascii_letters]<BR>binary = ['01','10','11','100','101','110','111','1000','1001','1010','1011','1100','1101','1110','1111','10000','10001','10010','10011','10100','10101','10110','10111','11000','11001','11010','11011','11100','11101','11110','11111','100000','100001','100010','100011','100100','100101','100110','100111','101000','101001','101010','101011','101100','101101','101110','101111','110000','110001','110010','110011','110100','110101','110110','110111','111000','111001','111010','111011','111100','111101','111110','111111','1000000','1000001','1000010','1000011','1000100','1000101','1000110','1000111','1001000','1001001','1001010','1001011','1001100','1001101','1001110','1001111','1010000','1010001','1010010','1010011','1010100','1010101','1010110','1010111','1011000','1011001','1011010','1011011','1011100','1011101','1011110','1011111','1100000','1100001','1100010','1100011','1100100','1100101','1100110','1100111','1101000','1101001','1101010','1101011','1101100','1101101','1101110','1101111','1110000','1110001','1110010','1110011','1110100','1110101','1110110','1110111','1111000','1111001','1111010','1111011','1111100','1111101','1111110','1111111','10000000','10000001','10000010','10000011','10000100','10000101','10000110','10000111','10001000','10001001','10001010','10001011','10001100','10001101','10001110','10001111','10010000','10010001','10010010','10010011','10010100','10010101','10010110','10010111','10011000','10011001','10011010','10011011','10011100','10011101','10011110','10011111','10100000','10100001','10100010','10100011','10100100','10100101','10100110','10100111','10101000','10101001','10101010','10101011','10101100','10101101','10101110','10101111','10110000','10110001','10110010','10110011','10110100','10110101','10110110','10110111','10111000','10111001','10111010','10111011','10111100','10111101','10111110','10111111','11000000','11000001','11000010','11000011','11000100','11000101','11000110','11000111','11001000','11001001','11001010','11001011','11001100','11001101','11001110','11001111','11010000','11010001','11010010','11010011','11010100','11010101','11010110','11010111','11011000','11011001','11011010','11011011','11011100','11011101','11011110','11011111','11100000','11100001','11100010','11100011','11100100','11100101','11100110','11100111','11101000','11101001','11101010','11101011','11101100','11101101','11101110','11101111','11110000','11110001','11110010','11110011','11110100','11110101','11110110','11110111','11111000','11111001','11111010','11111011','11111100','11111101','11111110','11111111']<BR>number = ['0','1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9']<BR>again = True<BR>while again:<BR> original = raw_input("Please enter numbers or text to be converted.
