the full code as is is below (not working). as of right now, i'm oncentrating only on the text function since the number converter works fine. the reason i'm using if and not for is that using for creates a loop where the program prints the converted number based on the number of characters in the original number (1100
                 1100) or something of the sort for 12, whereas 'if' prints the same number (1100) once, due to the [print binary[int(original) - 1]] command.

def convertxt(char):
    return binary[alphabet.index(char)]
def convertnum():
    whichconv = raw_input("""Convert to:
1: Binary
2: Hexadecimal
""")
    if whichconv in('1','Binary','binary','bin','b'):
        if char in number:
            print binary[int(original) - 1]
    elif whichconv in('2','Hexadecimal','hexadecimal','hexadec','hex','h'):
        if char in number:
            print hexadec[int(original) - 1]
