The title pretty much explains my issue. I need to convert a single string RGB value into a Hex value. I can do this if the value is given in three separate strings, but as the RGB is given from a color picker I'm unable to do this - unless I split the string which I don't want to do as I feel it's unnecessary.
I want to be able to convert a string such as: 0, 112, 192 into it's hexadecimal equivalent. Can I convert the entire string or do I have to split the string into its RGB parts first?
Since you can have varying numbers of decimal digits for the RGB value, you'll need to separate it before you convert it.
s1 = "0, 112, 192"
s2 = ""
For Each s As String In s1.Split(",")
s2 &= CInt(s).ToString("x2")
Next s

I'm using this for adding commas into number.
val commaNumber = NumberFormat.getNumberInstance(Locale.US).format(floatValue)
floatValue is 8.1E-7 , but commaNumber shows just 0.
How to covert Float to String with comma without Rounding?
For the US locale, the maximumFractionalDigits of the number format is 3, therefore, it will try to format 8.1e-7 with only 3 fractional digits, which makes it 0.000. Since the minimumFractionalDigits is also 0, it tries to remove all the unnecessary 0s, making the final result "0".
You should set maximumFractionalDigits to at least 7 if you want to precisely display the number 8.1e-7.
val numberFormat = NumberFormat.getNumberInstance(Locale.US)
numberFormat.maximumFractionDigits = 7
val commaNumber = numberFormat.format(floatValue)
As for the commas, that is already part of the US locale. It uses grouping, and , is its grouping separator. The commas will be inserted if they are needed.
I have a Population Estimate series with numbers as float64 and I need to convert them to a string with thousands separator (using commas). Using all significant digits (no rounding).
e.g. 12345678.90345 -> 12,345,678.90345
Try applying a comma-float string formatter.
population = population.apply('{:,.5f}'.format)
To achieve the desired formatting, you could use '{:,}'.format.
This will use commas as thousands separator and only output the values that are in your data and not clip or fill to a certain number of digits.
data = data.apply('{:,}'.format)
Please explain why
select convert(int,'1') = 1
but
select convert(int,
convert(varbinary(MAX),'1')) = 49
Convert to varbinary without a style parameter defined translates each ASCII character in input string to a binary byte. That is why the input string '1' first gets mapped to the ASCII code 49, after which the outer convert returns the integer value 49.
Because convert(varbinary(MAX),'1') is binary 0x31 which is integer 49.
By using varbinary you are essentially converting the ascii representation of "1" to the actual binary digits which represent it.
You will get the same result using select ascii('1').
In the same way select convert(varbinary(1),'A') = 0x41 which in base 10 is 65, which is the ascii value for A
I have input comprising five character upper-case English letters e.g ABCDE and I need to convert this into two character unique ASCII output.
e.g. ABCDE and ZZZZZ should both give two different outputs
I have converted from ABCDE into hex which gives me 4142434445, but from this can I get to a two character output value I require?
Example:
INPUT1 = ABCDE
Converted to hex = 4142434445
INPUT2 = 4142434445
OUTPUT = ?? Any 2 ASCII Characters
Other examples of INPUT1 =
BIRAL
BRMAL
KLAAX
So you're starting with a 5-digit base-26 number, and you want to squeeze that into some 2-digit scheme with base n?
All possible 1-5 digit base-26 numbers gives you a number space of 26^5 = 11,881,376.
So you want the minimum n where n^2 >= 11,881,376.
Which gives you 3446.
Now it's up to you to go and find a suitable glyph block somewhere in UTF where you can reliably block-out 3446 separate characters to act as your new base/alphabet. And construct a mapping from your 5-char base-26 ABCDE type number onto your 2-char base-3446 wierd-glyph number. Good luck with that.
There's not enough variety in ASCII to do this, since it's only 128 printable characters. Limiting yourself to 2-chars of ASCII means you can only address a number space of 16384.
What I hope to achieve:
I want to convert text to DNA (which is a base 4 system, "a,G,T,c")
How I plan to do it:
Convert text string to binary,
Dim BinaryConvert As String = ""
For Each C As Char In Textbox1.Text
Dim s As String = System.Convert.ToString(AscW(C), 2).PadLeft(8, "0")
BinaryConvert &= s
Next
Textbox1.Text = BinaryConvert '//Changes the textbox1.Text into binary form
Then convert binary to base 4 via Pseudocode solution:
if (length of binary String is an odd number) add a zero to the front (leftmost position) of the String.
Create an empty String to add translated digits to.
While the original String of binary is not empty {
Translate the first two digits only of the binary String into a base-4 digit, and add this digit to the end (rightmost) index of the new String.
After this, remove the same two digits from the binary string and repeat if it is not empty.
}
The idea behind converting binary to DNA is simply setting G and T equal to one, with c and a equal to zero (G=T=1, a=c=0).
So all I have to do is convert the string to binary first, and then into base 4, in order to convert text to genetic code. Could you please help me write the code to convert binary to base 4.
Thank you for the help!
Converting to base 4 from base 2 is pretty simple. Since 4 itself is the 2nd power of 2, this means you can simply combine two bits to create one base 4 place (2 bits can represent 4 possible values, while 1 base 4 place can also represent 4 possible values). For example:
11100100 (base 2) = 3210 (base 4)
