Function Name:
oct()
Function Signature:
oct(intVal)
Function Overview:
The python function oct() converts an integer value of
- Decimal format
- Hexa-decimal format
- Octal format
into octal format and returns the string that contains the octal form.
As long as __index__() method is defined for a python object - the oct() function will convert the integer returned by the __index__() method into the octal form.
Example:
|
# A class that defines the __inedx__() method class SpecialClass: def __init__(self, val): self.myVal = val
def __index__(self): return self.myVal
# Convert decimal form to octal form decimalNumber = 33 octalString = oct(decimalNumber) print("Decimal form to Octal form:{}".format(octalString))
# Convert hexa-decimal form to octal form hexaDecimalNumber = 0x33F octalString = oct(hexaDecimalNumber) print("Hexa-decimal form to Octal form:{}".format(octalString))
# Convert an object that has the __index__() implemented numericObject = SpecialClass(33) octalString = oct(numericObject) print("Object with __index__() to Octal form:{}".format(octalString)) |
Output:
|
Decimal form to Octal form:0o41 Hexa-decimal form to Octal form:0o1477 Object with __index__() to Octal form:0o41 |
