yes
fallen pier
alr
drowsy jay
correct?
fallen pier
yes
drowsy jay
so what do we do?
fallen pier
for the binary we have to add?
drowsy jay
yes, so Closet = Closet + splits
fallen pier
not Closet = Closet + "." + splits?
drowsy jay
no
we have to add the first integer everytime
but the dot only once before we add any decimal part
fallen pier
ah cause its in the while loop
drowsy jay
yes
fallen pier
so this
if len(Closet) == 0:
Closet = "0"
Closet = Closet[::-1]
Closet = Closet + "."
while decimal < 1:
decimal * 2
splits = str(decimal)[0]
Closet = Closet + splits
yes!!
fallen pier
while decimal < 1:
decimal * 2
splits = str(decimal)[0]
Closet = Closet + splits
print("Result:",Closet)
its complete?
drowsy jay
decimal does not change here
fallen pier
where
fallen pier
decimal = decimal * 2?
drowsy jay
yes
and also
we then have to do the steps again with the new decimal part
so we need to do decimal = decimal % 1 at the end
do you see why?
fallen pier
so we can determine if it is 0 or 1 for the decimal part?
drowsy jay
no, we have already done that
while decimal < 1:
decimal * 2
splits = str(decimal)[0]
Closet = Closet + splits
print("Result:",Closet)
this does that already
fallen pier
oh
drowsy jay
but now decimal will be 1.50 the first time after doing * 2
and then stay that way
but the next time you do the loop you need 0.50
fallen pier
we need to do decimal = decimal % 1 so that it counts the remainder?
drowsy jay
yes
and then at the end you can do print("Result:",Closet)
but outside the loop again
so only prints after all the conversion
and then test with 75.25
fallen pier
hmmm like this?
while decimal < 1:
decimal = decimal * 2
splits = str(decimal)[0]
Closet = Closet + splits
decimal = decimal % 1
print("Result:",Closet)
exactly
drowsy jay
can you show that in your code?
fallen pier
this part?
elif len(splitting) == 2: #decimal number
splitting = str(DeciBin).split(".")
integer = int(splitting[0])
decimal = float(DeciBin) - integer
Closet = ""
while DeciBin > 0:
Remaining = DeciBin % 2
Closet = Closet + str(Remaining)
DeciBin = DeciBin // 2
if len(Closet) == 0:
Closet = "0"
Closet = Closet[::-1]
Closet = Closet + "."
while decimal < 1:
decimal = decimal * 2
splits = str(decimal)[0]
Closet = Closet + splits
decimal = decimal % 1
print("Result:",Closet)
after the elif len(splitting) == 2:
?
drowsy jay
yes, so we can use ìnteger there
because in that case DeciBin is the full decimal number
an that's not what we want to use
drowsy jay
yes
fallen pier
so like integer = int(integer)?
drowsy jay
yes
drowsy jay
because you are using Decibin
elif len(splitting) == 2: #decimal number
splitting = str(DeciBin).split(".")
integer = int(splitting[0])
decimal = float(DeciBin) - integer
Closet = ""
while DeciBin > 0:
Remaining = DeciBin % 2
Closet = Closet + str(Remaining)
DeciBin = DeciBin // 2
here
you should replace that with integer
fallen pier
i see it now
drowsy jay
elif len(splitting) == 2: #decimal number
splitting = str(DeciBin).split(".")
integer = int(splitting[0])
decimal = float(DeciBin) - integer
Closet = ""
while integer > 0:
Remaining = integer % 2
Closet = Closet + str(Remaining)
integer = integer // 2
like so
fallen pier
if choose == "A":
DeciBin = (input("Enter a Decimal: "))
print("Decimal to Binary Conversion")
splitting = str(DeciBin).split(".")
if len(splitting) == 1: #integer
DeciBin = int(DeciBin)
Closet = ""
while DeciBin > 0:
Remaining = DeciBin % 2
Closet = Closet + str(Remaining)
DeciBin = DeciBin // 2
if len(Closet) == 0:
Closet = "0"
Closet = Closet[::-1]
print("Result:", Closet)
elif len(splitting) == 2: #decimal number
splitting = str(DeciBin).split(".")
integer = int(splitting[0])
decimal = float(DeciBin) - integer
Closet = ""
while integer > 0:
Remaining = integer % 2
Closet = Closet + str(Remaining)
DeciBin = integer // 2
if len(Closet) == 0:
Closet = "0"
Closet = Closet[::-1]
Closet = Closet + "."
while decimal < 1:
decimal = decimal * 2
splits = str(decimal)[0]
Closet = Closet + splits
decimal = decimal % 1
print("Result: ", Closet)
man
that is so long
fallen pier
i kinda like how it is, tho it is hard to read
drowsy jay
be careful
drowsy jay
i kinda like how it is, tho it is hard to read
well we can clean that up
fallen pier
oh
drowsy jay
have you seen functions?
fallen pier
functions?
drowsy jay
yes
fallen pier
in the document?
drowsy jay
I will explain
but basically we can make the code cleaner to read
first, does it work?
fallen pier
not really
drowsy jay
Oh I know why
while decimal < 1:
decimal = decimal * 2
splits = str(decimal)[0]
Closet = Closet + splits
decimal = decimal % 1
i enjoy the process of programming but not when they give me this type of assignment on my 3rd week 😭
(yes it was given last week, but the deadline is extended)
drowsy jay
we convert decimal to a value below 1 always
fallen pier
hmmm
drowsy jay
while decimal < 1: this will only check when
decimal = decimal % 1 this is done
but that will always result in a value less than one
fallen pier
so like while decimal <= 1:?
oh
we make it to
decimal = decimal % 2?
it works 🙌

while decimal < 1:

decimal = decimal % 2
print("Result: ", Closet)
yea
fallen pier
I have to limit the result to 4 decimal places
bleak elk
Calculate 5 then truncate
fallen pier
so lets say 75.95 limit to 1001011.() () () ()
fallen pier
Calculate 5 then truncate
truncate?
drowsy jay
you can add a count = 0 above the while loop
and do if count > 4: break
break will also stop the while loop
and then in the loop, you can do count = count + 1
fallen pier
hmmm
which while loop
theres 2
i had a classmate who did Precision
count = 0
while decimal < 1:
decimal = decimal * 2
splits = str(decimal)[0]
Closet = Closet + splits
decimal = decimal % 2
if count > 4:
break
print("Result: ", Closet)
count += 1
hmmm now it only shows 1 decimal place, but its 1 and not 0
drowsy jay
add count in the loop
fallen pier
the count = 0 or the count += 1?
fallen pier
i have to go now, you can ping me later and i can explain functions
Alright, thanks a lot!
It's currently 12:29am for me though
drowsy jay
oh ok
fallen pier
i'll try to make the rest on my own, if I can...
drowsy jay
gn !!
