Formatting to different bases
You can use the format method of a string object to easily convert between different bases:
'b' outputs in binary (base 2).
'o' outputs to oct (base 8).
'd' outputs to denary (base 10).
'x' outputs to hex (base 16) using lowercase letters.
'X' outputs to hex (base 16) using uppercase letters.
For example:
print("The binary form of 35 is {0:b}".format(35))
displays
The binary form of 35 is 100011
