Introduction
In this tutorial, I will show you how to convert text to binary or binary to text. I will also show you how it works. Let's Start!
String To Binary
def str_to_binary(text):
binary = ""
for char in text:
binary += format(ord(char), '08b')
return binary
Describing code:
The function will take a plain text or sentence
Then loop over each character to convert to binary and add the binary code of every character to the binary variable
The
format()method returns a formatted representation of the given value controlled by the format specifier. read more : format() in python
format(value, format-specifier) | in this case, this function takes per character's Unicode as value, and '08b' means 8-bit binary format specifier
ord() converts any character to its ASCII Unicode.
